Wanukaka in Sumba is a quite exposed reef break that has consistent surf. May-Oct (Dry Season) is the optimum time of year for waves. Works best in offshore winds from the north northeast. Most of the surf here comes from groundswells and the optimum swell angle is from the southwest. A right hand reef. Watch out for rips, rocks and sharks.
