Ujung Bocur Surf Guide

Overview


AKA: Karang Nyimbor

Ujung Bocur is a good, long, consistent left that breaks on most swells and can handle most swell sizes. It’s a long, rippable reef that offers rides in excess of 300m when it’s working. Ujung Bocur barrels with a more westerly swell and alternates between good, punchy turn sections and fast, speedy walls. The wave is great for intermediate and advanced surfers but you will often see beginner’s trying to challenge the wave as well, especially when it's smaller. The reef can be quite shallow, especially off the top, but is safer than many other Indonesian reef breaks. As a result, good days can be quite crowded but crowds have remained mostly mellow at this out of the way location. 

Ujung Bocur almost always has waves. The Southeast trade winds can ruffle afternoon sessions but it can be surfed from 1ft all the way up to 10ft. When it’s huge, there is a closeout end section in that can get hairy but those looking to escape the crowds will find the most success when Ujung Bocur is big.

This wave has a lot of different moods and can be quite different between days, tides, swells, etc. All in all, a very fun wave and a very good spot to stay when on a surf trip to Krui. Most travelers opt to stay in the growing number of accommodation options right on the point.
