As one of the most remote surfing destinations in Indonesia, the Banyak Islands still offer plenty of opportunities to surf empty waves. Only three charter boats operate full-time in this area – so this means more waves for you!

The best time to surf the Banyaks is from March to October, but the most consistent waves are from April to August. The average wave height is between 1 and 2.5 metres. Some of the best waves in the Banyak Islands include Treasure Island Rights, Cobras, Joysticks, Toytown lefts and many others.

Treasure Island Rights

Also known as Bangkaru, Treasure Island is a long right-hander with three tube barrel sections. A fun wave in the right conditions.

Cobras

Cobras is a swell magnet and where you should head if it’s not big enough for Treasure Island. A gorgeous location with fun, tube sections.

Joysticks

If you’re looking for a fun right-hander, Joysticks is what you’ve been searching for. Situated in the Bay of Plenty, it produces a perfect tube section on takeoff, a long wall, then another tube section inside the bowl. When the swell is up, this wave is great for intermediate surfers.

Toytown Lefts

Often referred to as a softer version of the well-known Macaronis break in the Mentawai Islands, Toytown left is a fun left-hander in the Bay of Plenty. With lots of great sections and even some barrels on offer, this wave is one to remember.

NIAS AREA:

Asu

Powerful, perfect, idyllic are all accurate descriptions of Pulau Asu and the left-hand wave that breaks along its shores. Comfortably holding anything from 3 – 12ft ,Asu is another of those straight from a magazine Indo type set ups. When small it’s a fun wave that allows for turns, tubes and is manageable by most levels. 4-6ft is probably most people’s idea of perfection, the wave starts to open up a bit more and offers nice barrel sections and fast walls. Over 6ft (double overhead) Asu has consequence but if you’re up for you’ll likely score some of the best waves of your life.

The Beachie

Depending on the banks this beach can deliver Turquoise A frames , good barrels or soft ramp and turn sections . regardless it’s usually always fun and most importantly empty. A nice change from surfing over reef yet still able to deliver quality waves when the banks are right.

Indulge in a range of Western and Indonesian dishes prepared with locally-sourced ingredients. You can expect an abundance of fresh fruits and vegetables, seafood, meats. Not to mention abundance. You won’t go hungry on ONO NIHA.
