The Peak (Simeulue)
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.
