🪸Sharp reef🏝️Remote
Waigeo Lefts is pure expedition surfing territory in Raja Ampat, West Papua—one of the most biodiverse marine environments on Earth. The wave picks up NW monsoon swell during the November-March season, with east-facing reefs providing rideable waves when conditions align. This is true frontier surfing, combining world-class diving and marine biodiversity with the raw adventure of surfing completely uncharted breaks in the far east of Indonesia.
