Nangamunga
Nangamunga is an emerging surf spot on the south coast of western Flores, offering good potential for quality reef breaks. The wave picks up the same S-SW swell as Bali and Sumbawa but the coastline remains largely unexplored by the surfing world. First principles suggest excellent potential—a south-facing coast on a large island intercepting Indian Ocean groundswell with offshore winds in the dry season.

Frequently Asked Questions
What tide is best at Nangamunga?
The Nangamunga profile favors mid tide, ideally between 0.5m and 1.5m on the local tide chart. Compare this preference with the forecast tide and local conditions before choosing a session.
What wind direction is offshore at Nangamunga?
The Nangamunga profile uses wind from NNE (22°) as its preferred direction, with an offshore range of 352° to 52°. Wind speed matters too: light winds outside that range can still produce surfable conditions, while strong offshore winds can make takeoffs difficult.
What swell size and direction work best at Nangamunga?
The Nangamunga scoring profile favors swell from SSW (190° to 220°), a swell-height range of 1.2m to 2.4m, and a reference period of 14s. These are model inputs, not guaranteed breaking-wave heights or a promise that the surf will suit every ability.
