Surfing Nias: Complete Surf Guide

Best Surf Spots in Nias

Sorake / Lagundri Bay

Advanced to expert

The wave that put Nias on the map, a perfect right-hand point that peels down a cobblestone reef for 150+ meters. Rebuilt after the 2004 tsunami and 2005 earthquake, it remains one of Indonesia's most iconic waves.

🌊 Right point break🌙 Best at Mid to high tide📈 SW 5-12ft

Indicators

Expert only

The outside section of Lagundri Bay that breaks when swells hit double overhead. A longer paddle but worth it for the longer rides and fewer surfers.

🌊 Right reef break🌙 Best at Mid tide tide📈 SW 8-15ft

The Machine

Advanced

A fast, hollow left on the opposite side of the bay. Rarely surfed compared to Sorake, it offers an escape from the crowds and a different style of wave.

🌊 Left reef break🌙 Best at Low to mid tide📈 SW 4-8ft
