Surf Nihi Resort Sumba

Nihi Sumba Island is host to one of the world’s most coveted waves known as Occy’s Left. Even for the most experienced surfer, it presents a challenge because it is so sensitive to different conditions: tides, size, strength, and direction. Catching a good ride isn’t as easy as it looks, but once you make the right pick, the reward is a 200m to 300m long and often thrilling ride down the line through sections of ripple walls and heaving barrels. The number of surfers is limited to 10 per day, adding to the special experience. The wave has been a popular one for avid, recreational, and professional surfers for decades.

Novice and first-time surfers can still get their feet wet with lessons on Nihiwatu beach, depending on the swell. Calmer waters can often be found at nearby Coconut Cove, where surfers can spend half a day with breakfast or lunch and do some light surfing, then be driven back to the resort.
