AKA: Sumatran Pipe
Often called “The Sumatran Pipeline” and for very good reason. Way Jambu is a heavy, beast of a left that has many moods depending on swell direction, size, and tide. Ideally, you want a huge, southwest swell and a high tide. Paddle out via the beach and drift into the lineup slowly.
On its day, Way Jambu will deliver an equal amount of amazing barrels and amazing beatings. The reef here can be extremely shallow and many people have been injured here. Way Jambu is for experts only. Smaller swells and lower tides will amount to more encounters with the reef.
Drive 15 minutes south of Tanjung Setia. Between Biha and Maran village.
