Teguh from Indonesia
“Not the best break along the Bukit west coast. but most definitely fun. best on low tide on medium to bigger swell. tend to closed out on huge swell (but still rideable if you got the nerve) 3 main break during low tide Left hand break on the left side over sandbank and sand cover reef, a left and right almost A-frame break on the middle breaking over reef, and shore break, On high tide unless the swell is big all outside break wont work. BUT the Shorebreak providing most decent slamming,pounding shorey good for bodysurfer and body boarder, and stand up surfer if you want to risk broken board xD”
