Pulau Pisang surf break South Sumatra
The Right, Banana Island Lampung Sumatra
General surf information
There are 2 waves on Pulau Pisang "when the conditions are right" but don't go with high expectations that will be the case. The island can be very wind affected and the swell choppy. With the Right on the South East of the Island and the Left on the West of the Island a favourable wind direction depends on which wave you intend to surf.
The Right is the longer wave and has been compared to One Palm with the take off jacking up as the swell wraps around a large chunk of coral.
The Right is for intermediate to experience surfers (if under 1.8 mtrs) and the left for the experienced tube masters
