Honey Smacks surf break South Sumatra

General surf information
Honey Smacks can vary from a steep heavy surf break with a fast left hand barrel to a wave manageable by intermediate surfers and bodyboarders. Holds 1.8 to 4 mtrs and is a favourite with bodyboarders who don't mind a vertical drop from the lip.
If you paddle out here on a bigger day you had better know what you are doing and understand the risk you are taking. Serious injuries occur here and the nearest hospital that can deal with a serious injury is 8hrs by car.
The beach area at Honey Smacks is a beautiful place, you can easily spend the day here just hanging out and watching the surf in the shade of the coconut palms.
Vibe in the water
Being over an hour north of Krui keeps the numbers in the lineup down. Respect in the water comes with the serious nature of the wave. Surfers and bodyboarders alike keep an eye out for each other here.

Paddling out
Paddle out is straight forward. Use the channel near the creek, on an outgoing tide if the swells not huge you will be pulled out quite easily.
