Panaitan Bombie is a surf spot located off the coast of Panaitan Island in Indonesia. It’s known for its multi-peak setup, which allows for some variety in wave selection. The waves break on a wide outside reef, making it a go-to spot when the conditions are right. It’s not as crowded as some other spots in the region, which can be a plus for surfers looking for a more relaxed vibe.

The best time to surf here is when the swell is coming from the SouthWest, but it can also handle swells from the SouthEast and West. Generally, it’s easiest to surf when the swell is around 3ft (about 1 meter). The waves are mostly rights that peel over live coral, offering a fun ride for intermediate surfers. The ideal wind comes from the North, and the tides can be low, mid, or high without much issue. However, keep in mind that for the best glassy conditions, early morning or late evening sessions work best.

Another thing to note is that Panaitan Bombie has some strong currents, so be aware of your surroundings. The sea life in the area can also be quite interesting, adding to the overall experience of surfing here. It’s a good spot to consider, especially when you’re looking for something different from the usual crowd.
