Volcano's Left surf break South Sumatra

General surf information
Volcano's Left is an extremely inconsistent wave. When the swell is too small this wave is fat and you almost need a long board to ride it. On a HUGE swell (Ujung Bocur is totally maxed out) this can be a fun wave with a backdoor tube on the end section.
When it's working you could call this a beginners wave but there is nothing beginners about the reef and it's advise that you take careful note of where the many large coral heads are located.

Paddling out
There are 2 places to paddle out.
A: Off the north side of the reef which is a long walk across the sea urchin infested reef but a faster paddle out.
B: Out through the channel that the fishermen use to launch their boats. Which is a longer paddle but with less chance of stepping on a sea urchin or getting scratched up on the reef, you also get to check out Volcano's Right on the way.
