Siemuele ~ Island
Overview of Simeulue Island
Located in the Aceh province of North Sumatra, Simeulue island is fairly large remote island with about half a dozen smaller islands.The Waves
Unlike the Mentawai's, Nias, and Banyaks, Simeulue doesn't have any noted world class waves, it does however have surf of varying quality and consistency, mostly fun hollow reefs and average beachie's, not the best waves in Indonesia, but what it lacks in quality it makes up for in lack of crowds, in 2004 Simeulue was also effected by the Aceh Tsunami and Earthquake, sadly in some areas this affected reefs raising them some height, even completely destroying surf spots, most of the waves are located in the south end of the island.
Crowd wise
Generally crowds in the past have been low, occasionally charter boats do visit the southern area, but only in small numbers as there focus is the higher quality waves of the Banyaks, however recently a new camp has opened and another will open in 2012, so expect this situation to change somewhat at least in the southern peak/jackals area.Dylan's
Perhaps the most well known and one of the better quality waves in the area a hollow right point/reef of medium length, not the most perfect wave by Indonesian standards but still offers a good chance to get barreled.Tea bags/Tupah
Breaking on a small offshore island a hollow powerful right, suitable to only good surfers gets very heavy as it gets bigger, holds solid waves.Thailand
A left, the wave is named after a thai saw mill that once stood near the wave.Jackals/the Peak
Left and right reef peak, site of a new surf camp.
Other waves-
