Surfing Krui Left
A left reef in Krui / Lampung, Indonesia, for intermediate and advanced surfers.
Krui Left breaks over reef right in front of town, a fun and consistent left five minutes from most losmen. You can check it on foot at first light.
It has good shape at 3-6ft, the sections link up on the better tides, and there's enough power for advanced surfers while intermediates get used to reef. East-wind mornings are clean, and the evening glass-off brings most of the town's surfers out.
It's where visitors meet the local crew, so manners count. Ride your normal shortboard, or a fish when it's small. Get a coconut on the seawall afterwards.

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.
