Krui Left surf break South Sumatra

Krui Left July 2017

General surf information

Krui left breaks on arguably the most perfect shaped reef in the area creating a quality left hander with a perfect barrel. If this break was exposed to more swell it would be an A class wave. Unfortunately it's hidden away behind a headland and on most days is 1 to 1.5 mtrs, seldom getting over 1.8 mtrs.

Vibe in the water

When the swell gets big at other breaks Krui Left can be a nightmare as most beginner to intermediate level surfers head to Krui. With shortboards, bodyboards, longboards and SUP boards crammed into a small takeoff zone, you need a lot of tolerance to surf Krui Left. If that doesn't sound like you then best avoid Krui Left at peak times.
