Surf Breaks

  • Surfing Nembrala, T-Lands, Rote accomodation.

    T-Lands

    T-Lands is what Rote Island is reknowned for. It's one of the most consistent and longest left-handers in the Indonesian archipelago. Can be surfed on all tides and the surf height can peak to 15 - 18 foot during the months of July to September.

    T-Lands is a long left hander with varying take off sections, from The Point, Pyramids, Mountain and Inner bowls it has got a take off spot for all surfers. It provides a long ride with multiple sections to belt off the lip. We recommend riding a bigger board than usual to match the speed of the wave, especially when it gets big and the trade winds are up. It is a 10 minute boat ride from our accomodation.

    Surf height ranges from 2 to 18 foot.

    Surfer level: Intermediate to advanced.

  • Surfing Nembrala, Sucky mummas, Rote accomodation.

    Sucky Mummas

    One of our favourite spots to surf on Rote Island. Sucky Mummas is a right-hand reef break that barrels hard into a channel. There a multiple take off spots depending on the tide and the swell. Usually best surfed on low to mid tide for barrelling waves and high tide for steep walls to turn off. It is a 15 minute boat ride from or accomodation.

    Surf height ranges from 2 to 7 foot.

    Surfer level: Advanced.

  • Surfing Nembrala, Squealers, Rote accomodation.

    Squealers

    Great for beginners, it is a left and right hand surf break that reforms again when the wave gets closer to shore.  It’s a soft rolling wave that allows time for beginners to get to their feet and enjoy a long ride. Also, suitable for intermediate surfers to work on their positioning, the right hander can open up with some fun sections to do turns. It’s an idyllic spot for longboarders, paddle boarders, foilers and beginner short boarders. A short 5 minute boat ride from our accomodation.

    Surf height ranges from 2 to 4 foot.

    Surfer level: Beginner to intermediate.
