Surfing Jimmy's Point
A left & right reef in Krui / Lampung, Indonesia, for advanced surfers.
Jimmy's is a reef further up the coast north of Krui, beyond Jenny's Rights, with a right and a left breaking off the same reef. The end of the right is very shallow and can almost dry out at low tide, so it's best around high tide, with a north-east wind offshore.
It's a wave for advanced surfers who are comfortable over shallow reef. Few people make the drive, so there's usually space. Follow the road north from Krui and turn off through the village to the coast.

Getting there
Where to stay: Tanjung Setia is the strip, losmen and camps within walking distance of Ujung Bocur. Stay near Mandiri for beachbreak mornings, or Krui town for markets and ATMs. June-September books out with the Ujung Bocur crowd; either side of that you'll often have the point in single figures. Mandiri Beach Club runs all-inclusive surf packages across from Mandiri beach, with daily transport to the other breaks.
Transport, costs, where to stay and the rest of the waves in the area are in the Krui / Lampung guide.
