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.
