Drews Right Camp is found in the Northern part of the area where as Karang Nyimbor Camp is situated in the southern part of this surf area.
It takes about 1.5hrs to travel between the camps. Both areas offer superb quality waves that are easily
accessible and close by, when staying at either camp.


Very rarely crowded!

Unlike spots like Nias and the
Mentawai islands, the area remains relatively uncrowded
all year round - for now atleast!

Drews Right
– AKA – Jenny’s Right

Situated right on your doorstep (the camp over looks the wave) – this idyllic right hander is the ideal surf spot - to surf with just you and your mates.

The wave

Breaking for approximately 100 meters, this right breaking wave offers a bit of everthing - from decent barrel sections to big open faces. Unlike Karang Nyimbor, this waves entry (although steep) is relatively easy. Once on the wave various sections are on offer - depending on the size of swell and its direction. The end section will always closeout – and can be pretty shallow.

Swell, Winds & consistency

This wave breaks year round, but is offshore more in the off season. It faces more south east, but still recieves a large amount of swell - as most swells are from the south or south west. So if you’re staying at Karang Nyimbor and it goes onshore, then jump in a car and stay here for a day or seven! There’s other world class waves in the area too. See our swell and consistency chart for a run down of what you’re likely to experience. You’ll be missing out if you dont visit this area when you stay at KN.

Reef

The wave breaks on coral reef and therefore reef boots (and helmets) are recommended. Getting out to the lineup is quite straight forward - you just have to time your entry. Coming in can be slightly trickier on a lower tide as it can get quite shallow.

Crowds

Staying at Drews is a quiet experience and although there’s local people around, there’s no local surfers. There’s also no other camps in the area. So you’ll never get any problems with crowds here - ever!
