Wakte Island Right

Papua (Sarmi), Indonesia
🪸Sharp reef🏝️Remote

Wakte Island Right is an attractive right reef break near Kota Sarmi on the north coast of Papua, receiving NE swell during the short November-March season. This is true frontier territory—one of the least-explored surf zones in Indonesia, offering quality reef breaks with zero crowd pressure. The remoteness and short surf season make this a destination for dedicated surf explorers with flexible schedules.
