SURFING IN HINAKOS ISLANDS

Indonesia, Hinakos Islands

Asu is located in the Hinakos Islands, off the coast of Nias, in North Sumatra, Indonesia. The area is less crowded than the Mentawai Islands and Asu and Bawa host some world class waves and 4 other secret spots. During the surf season (April-October) this region is more exposed than Mentawai, Telos or Banyaks islands. Probably one of the last surf frontier around the world, with guaranteed less crowded waves than Mentawai, with up to 15 people in line up, and sometimes you can surf completely alone! Spots recommended to intermediate and expert surfers. In front of the resort breaks the wave of Asu, left hander with tubes and vertical walls of 200 meters! We can also arrange surf trips to Nias and we offer photo / video session service.

The surf in the Hinako’s Islands is one of the best in the world. There is no other place on the planet with high quality surf and no crowd! There are 5 waves strewn throughout the islands,in maximum range of 15-30 minutes and 2 more 40-50 minutes by speedboat. And our Resort is prepared to get you the most out what the Asu Island has to offer, while still giving you the convenience and comfort of coming home to your own private, clean bed every night. Roughly 100% of the waves in the Hinako’s can be accessed within a maximum of 30 minutes by our speed- boat , and the best one are right in our own backyard, 5 minutes by our speedboat from our pier to line-up, safe and dry! Bawa is the last island and only 15-25 minutes away, and it offers longer and wider barrels than Asu when it’s firing. There are challenging waves like Bommie, rippable barreled waves like Hamutala and within 35-45 minutes we get Salonako and Afulu in West Nias. Our surf guide receives daily updates for surf forecasts, and will make recom- mendations based on swells, wind, whatever our guests desires. One day we may decide it’s a good idea to take a day trip to the Nias area to the north or South for waves such as Salonako, Afulu or Lagundri Bay. There are some options to choose from, and we consult our guests to come to a group decision about what is the best call for the day. There is no doubt Asu is one of the best waves on Indonesia. Perfect and consistent. And we’re ready to put you into the best waves of your life. Our Resort is visited by surfers, families, pro surfers and photographers.  

SPOTS HINAKO ISLANDS

Asu

it s a perfect, consistent left hand wave that works on all tides, big and small swells, and south wind conditions. Asu is a unique wave. From 2-8 feet, it is a perfect very fun wave peeling over coral reef. For the surfer, Asu provides the opportunity to improve your surfing. At 4-5 feet, Asu becomes more challenging and starts to barrel from the take off, offering more power and lip for doing maneuvers and getting barreled. When get’s 6-12 feet, it becomes a tube on the take off, and two more barrel sections in some waves, intense walls. Over 8 feet, is needed a little more experience.

Bawa

Great option in north winds days with a south swell. Ideal for those who want empit solid waves on their own.

Hamutala

Right hander neighboring Bawa Island, friendly up to 8 feet, with 2 perfect sections with barrels and rip able walls.. 

   

Bommie

Deep water slab, located between Asu and Hinako Island, provides short and challenging tuberides with a rippable end section.

   

Sirombu

Rippable and short right hander, located near Sirombu harbour, its is best for beginners surfers. (occasional barrel section).

   

Afulu

At 40-50 minutes from Asu, this peeling left hander on Nias mainland offers incredible tube riders with rippable walls. 

 

Salonako

At 30-40 minutes from Asu. This “SUPER PERFECT” right hander can provide challenging barrels rides. Works on the larger ground swell. 

   

 

 

Barrel Machine

Barrel Machine is a left-hander that only works in perfect alignment of Swell and Wind directions, it’s a high performance wave. In glassy or off-shore conditions 4 – 6 second barrels are manageable from the take off. Barrel Machine is a fun wave to surf, holds from2 – 6 feet and technically doesn’t get any bigger than this; becomes more hollow and round.
