Location

Simeulue is an Indonesian island, about 150 km off the west coast of Sumatra. Its capital city is Sinabang, where also the airport (Laskiin airport) is located. The island is reachable by ferry from the west coast of North Sumatra’s port Sibolga or by plane from Medan to Sinabang. The transport facilities on the island are not really developed, so be patient. The good thing about this is that many spots are still unexplored. The locals are very friendly. The Indian Ocean brings consistent swell year round. A number of good, virgin and uncrowded reef and beach breaks are waiting for you.

Guests Rave About Surflodges

The Seasons

Anytime is a good time to visit Simeulue SurfLodges as there are waves and favorable winds all year round. Due to the doldrums latitude, there are no dominant wind patterns, so conditions are relatively calm most of the year. The Southern Indian Ocean is the most efficient swell machine on the planet. So, you can expect numerous 6-10ft (2-3m) SW swells per month between April and October, as well as consistent 3-6ft (1-2m) swells during low-season. Simeulue receives the same swells as the Mentawai Islands as well as more westerly swells from higher in the Indian Ocean. The biggest swells typically hit the island from June to August. Having said that, every year offers up different weather patterns and clean medium size swells can be enjoyed every month of the year. Given the number of breaks, regardless of the season there is almost always a 3 to 5ft wave option.

The Waves

There are uncrowded waves all along the south and western side of the island and some breaks that are yet to be named or even discovered. Within 5 to 75 minutes from the resort there are at least 10 quality waves. Ranging from super hollow reefs to more mellow beach breaks. We have experienced surf guides who stay actively across the latest forecast and are excited to get guests on the best waves on the day, whatever your level. Every evening the guides will discuss the best options for the next day. After an early morning swell, wind and tide check the call will be made for the group or, you can go explore the island’s waves by yourself. Typically, you can surf one spot in the morning and one or even two spots in the afternoon. We know that everyone has different surfing levels but the beauty of Simeulue is that there are plenty of different wave options to match or push your ability.

DYLAN’S

Is a fast, hollow, perfect right hand barrel. It’s a high performance wave, which allows you to pull into barrels or carve on down the line. It breaks best in larger swells but produces fun fast waves very consistently for lower intermediate plus surfers. Nextdoor is probably the best break on the island, called Dylans, or Dylans Right or Dylans Point, at only a 100m walk. A powerful right hander with hollow tubes and a long ride.

---

THE PEAK

Is a perfect left and right peak, both with hollow barrel sections and nice steep walls. It picks up any swell and is one of the most consistent waves on the island. It’s a super fun wave, which anyone can surf from beginners through to the very experienced. 

NORTHERN RIGHTS AND LEFTS

These two waves, a right-hand reef break and fun left hand beachie, are almost side by side and are best in similar conditions to the Peak but often far less crowded. 

ALUS ALUS BAY

A left and right point break on opposite sides of the bay with an A frame peak in the middle. The right is an easy, fun ride, which gets hollower up the point and finishes over a sand bottom. The left has long walls and barrels all the way down the line. The A frame offers great waves in both directions depending on the swell.

TEA BAGS

Is a right-hand reef pass where swells from deep water hit a shallow reef creating a long wave with real power. It picks up a lot of swell and starts breaking from about 4 foot plus. It’s best with a southwest swell, on low tide, with a NW-E wind. A super consistent wave that’s better suited to intermediate to advanced surfers. Booties are also recommended. Also, the nearby Island of Mincau is uninhabited and has one Indonesia`s most unique landscapes with pristine beaches, great snorkeling and spearfishing. 

THAILANDS

A super consistent, long left-hand reef break with an easy take off, good walls and plenty of fast sections. Thailands is suited to most surfers and is a set in a beautifully scenic location, which also has a good reef for snorkeling.
