Indicator

The indicator it just above Main break of Nias,also goes off on its day, as you can see in the right side from lounge of the camp. Indicator as “a formidable opponent to your health, safety, and well-being” – and that certainly isn’t far off shallow reef. The wave grinds down a section of reef, At low tide forget it, unless you choose to surf the outside section, which can occasionally offer some alternative on a north west wind. At high tide though and on the right swell, Indicator can offer perhaps some of the thickest, fast and hollowest tubes in the wold.

Its a long tube and once you come out its an easy paddle back out.

Secret right-hander – Sobatu.

Sobatu is a thick, barreling right punctuated by a shifting line-up. Sobatu is a sizable Right-hander that is known as one of the “big wave” spots in the Nias island. Located bit north from as Nias point,the Distance from surf camp around a 20 minutes walk in to the bay or a 15 minute Boat ride.

It has a very large playing field and a few different take-off options including a few rights when it is small – but watch out for the paddle back out! Sobatu isn’t known as a barreling wave unless it has some serious size – if big enough it will look more like Hawaii. When it looks like that Nias point is a much better option.

The ideal size to surf Sobatu when small Nias, is head-high to double overhead, in any medium swell size, getting caught inside is a certainty.
