Lakey Peak (Hu'u) · Indonesia
Surfing Nungas
A left reef in Lakey Peak (Hu'u), Indonesia, for intermediate and advanced surfers.
Nungas is a left down the reef from Lakey Peak that starts working when the swell gets bigger. Sets that are too big for the Peak swing wide and line up here into walls of 200 metres or more.
It's bigger and longer than the Peak but breaks over deeper coral and at a slower pace, so 6ft Nungas is realistic for strong intermediates. On the biggest days it's the main wave on the reef and holds double overhead.
Paddle out from the beach south of the Peak or drift down with the current. E/SE mornings, mid tide and 4-10ft are the usual conditions. Bring a board with some paddle and rail, because this is a wave for long turns.

Getting there
Where to stay: The whole scene lines one beach road facing the Peak, everything is walk-to-the-wave. Fan rooms are cheap and plentiful; AC and pools cost more and sell out June-August. Bring cash from Bima or Dompu: the nearest reliable ATMs are an hour away. Aman Gati is the classic hotel on the strip, with a pool and the Peak in front.
Transport, costs, where to stay and the rest of the waves in the area are in the Lakey Peak (Hu'u) guide.
