Weetabix
Weetabix is a quality left reef break on the under-explored south coast of western Flores, facing the Indian Ocean and picking up S-SW groundswell. Flores is one of Indonesia's great surf frontiers—the south coast faces the same swell window as Bali and Sumbawa but sees a fraction of the surfers. The wave offers quality reef break surfing in a stunning setting near the famous Komodo National Park area.

Frequently Asked Questions
What kind of wave is Weetabix?
Weetabix is a reef break in West Flores, Indonesia, that mostly breaks left.
What swell works best at Weetabix?
Weetabix picks up swell from the S round to the SW, and it's best when it's coming straight out of the SSW. That's a tight window, so it needs the swell direction to line up. It starts working at around 1.2m and handles up to about 2.4m, with the sweet spot around 1.7 to 2.1m. Period matters too: aim for 14s or longer, as anything under 10s tends to be weak. These are the numbers our scoring uses, so treat them as a guide rather than a promise.
What wind is offshore at Weetabix?
A NNE wind is dead offshore at Weetabix, and anything from the N round to the NE keeps it clean. The morning is typically the best window, roughly 6am to midday. Light winds from other directions can still be fine; strong offshores can make it hard to get into waves.
What tide is best at Weetabix?
Weetabix is at its best around mid tide, roughly 0.5m to 1.5m on the local chart.
When is the best time of year to surf Weetabix?
The most reliable run of swell at Weetabix comes Apr to Oct. There's a second window in Nov to Mar too. Best Apr-Oct (dry season, SE trades offshore). Swells year-round but wet season brings onshore winds.
How cold is the water at Weetabix?
The water at Weetabix averages around 28°C, so boardshorts or a rashguard will do. It shifts a few degrees through the year, so check the season before you pack.
Is Weetabix good for beginners?
It's more of an intermediate wave, rated 6/10 for difficulty, so newer surfers are best off sticking to the smaller days. Expect a moderate crowd (4/10) when it's on. Things to watch for: sharp, shallow reef (booties help).
