Additional Surfing Infos
 A good left hander, takes a massive swell to break, caps on the outside before sucking out on the inside reef. Short, intense and fickle.

Pull in and go: this is one of the best waves in the world in my opinion. The longest barrels I have gotten (15 sec. +) super shallow and super sharp but worth it.Big walls of water break off a boil rock on the outside of the bay and suck up into a thick and heavy left that bowls and winds down the reef for a few hundred meters. The inside section of this reef gets really shallow.
  Overview
  Atmosphere Sumbawa, located east of lombok. People are not to friendly towards Americans on the island. Best if you charter a boat from bali. anywhere from 0 - 00 U.S.
  General Pretty average wave by Indo standards, and ultra rare. Offshore in dry season trades, but strange micro climates due to the heating and cooling of the mountainous and desert coast line often cause day long onshores, even though you can see the whitecaps of the trades on the horizon. Any onshores ruin this wave completly. Very shallow, high risk, short reward.

the truth
Unless the swell direction is perfect this very rare wave is mostly a closeout, with short sections ending on dry reef, plus any sign of a good swell and good tides and there will be 40 plus people coming by land with potentially up to three boats (10 people a boat) super tight take of zone, and it probaly wont be on anyways. there is no point in going past deserts

come on Tica
Very good wave but doesn't break unless there's a pretty good swell. I hope Tica is still working at that one hotel in Maluk. The surf's filthy but nothing compares to her giant barrels!
