Location

Rote Island is in Eastern Indonesia and is the southern most island of Indonesia only 200 miles from Australian coast.

Rote Island is a very beautiful paradise Island with many white sandy beaches it has a tropical climate with a long dry season. It has been a well kept secret that was previously hard to reach so remained quiet. Now that travel is much easier it’s becoming more popular.

We are located on the beach about 2 kms North of the main Nemberala harbour/town, our west facing patch of coast is off shore in the dry season.

Surf

If the surf is what your coming for I am your personal surf guide and boat driver, I will put you on the spot!

Our boat is parked right in front in a natural harbour accessible even on the lowest tides, makes access to the waves quick and easy. We do our morning surf check over a freshly brewed coffee, we can see all the way from Besi Alu down to Sukimamas as we decide where to surf. We are centrally located between the surf breaks on the main land and outer islands.

The main breaks are show with the photos, however others are also great depending on the surf level and conditions as listed below.

OESELI surf break

Great hollow left hander needs the right swell conditions.

RILIAU surf break

Also called squillers or learners, for beginners only.

Many other surf spots...

There are many other spots that break depending on wind direction, tides, swell direction and size – some are named and some still unnamed… we are not going to write about them here but if you want to surf them we will take you there using our extensive local knowledge.
We specialise to surfers of all abilities, Besi Alu can be a soft wave but most of the other waves in typical Indonesian fashion are generally heavier and more hollow. So if you have a sense of adventure and are seeking some great waves to your self whilst in Rote, come stay with us.
Besi Alu surf spot on Rote Island

Besi Alu surf break

The main wave- ever popular wave is very consistant and does cater for a wide range of surfing abilities, is often very busy and can tend be a bit soft. The wave was named Besi Alu by local fishermen long before it was ever surfed, it means metal grinder and refers to noise the wave makes as it rolls down the reef. Sometimes is referred to as Tland, but out of respect we still use the local name.
