Krui Left surf break South Sumatra

Krui Left July 2017

General surf information

Krui left is a quality left hand reef break with a perfect barrel. Most days it is 1.2 to 1.5 mtrs and suitable for intermediate surfers. It is hidden away behind a headland and needs a very large S to SW swell to get over 1.8 mtrs and be excellent.

Vibe in the water

When the swell gets big at other breaks most beginner to intermediate level surfers and bodyboarders head to Krui, this becomes a real problem as Krui Left has a very small takeoff zone and can not handle a crowd.

There are no rules at Krui Left so you need a lot of patience, tolerance and a cool head to surf Krui Left, if that does not sound like you then it's probably best to avoid this surf break.
