YouTubeWatch on YouTube CustomizeCustomize this spot

Suckies is a high-quality right-hander breaking on an outer reef pass north of Nemberala village on Rote Island. The wave produces clean, hollow barrels that suck over the reef shelf, offering quality tube rides for experienced surfers. It pairs well with T-Land, providing a right-hand alternative when the swell direction shifts slightly. Accessed by short boat ride from Nemberala.
