The Peak on Simeulue Island is a picturesque A-frame reef setup that works on a range of swell directions, providing both lefts and rights depending on conditions. The break offers a more accessible wave compared to the heavier barrels of Dylan's Right and Tea Bags, making it a good option for intermediate-to-advanced surfers exploring this remote island. Clear tropical water and a beautiful reef setting complete the experience.

The The Peak (Simeulue) 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.
The The Peak (Simeulue) profile uses wind from E (90°) as its preferred direction, with an offshore range of 45° to 135°. Wind speed matters too: light winds outside that range can still produce surfable conditions, while strong offshore winds can make takeoffs difficult.
The The Peak (Simeulue) scoring profile favors swell from SW (210° to 260°), a swell-height range of 0.9m to 1.8m, 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.
