Surf South Sumatra, is the most complete quide to travel destinations and surf breaks surrounding the seaside towns of Tanjung Setia and Krui on the South West Coast of Sumatra.

Nestled at the base of the world's largest World Heritage National Park it's a destination discovered by surfers and you won't find many travelers or tourists exploring this 150 kilometers stretch of coastline.

What is Krui like ?

Looking for a full-on daytime shopping experience, a place to party or hang-out in funky cafés and restaurants? Then the Krui area is definately not the destination for you: no air-conditioned shopping malls, Mc Donalds or Starbucks, no fast food joints, night clubs, vegetarian / vegan cafés or gourmet coffee shops.

If your expecting to find Bali as it was 40 years ago ... think again. The vast majority of the population do not rely on the tourist dollar and ninety six percent are conservative Muslims. What you can expect to find is an off the beaten track DIY experience on the edge of the Indian Ocean.

The Surf

The Krui area of South Sumatra is renowned for it's variety of surf breaks. What it lacks in quality and consistency it endeavours to make up for in quantity and accessibility. In an 80km stretch of coastline there are 23 surbreaks that are all paddle out. With enough time and and a bit of luck you could score some world class waves.
