Surf: Most surfers concentrate on the reliable left reef up the east coast on the northern headland at Butler’s Bay known as Jarawa Point, named after one of the indigenous tribes. It’s positioning leaves W swells out of the equation, but anything S will hit a rocky, limestone shelf that curves into the bay, turning any N winds offshore. Fun park walls amble down the reef in sections, offering hits and shoulders, with the chance of a few cover-ups at bigger sizes. Most Andaman waves are fairly easy with good shape and fantastic colours on the reef below. Further south across the 10º Channel, the Nicobar Islands are off limits, protecting their surf potential and their unique indigenous population from outside interference.
