Pulau Pisang surf guide

Pulau Pisang, which means "Banana Island," is a surf spot located offshore and is accessible by boat from Tambakak. This spot offers waves breaking along both sides of the island, providing options for surfers depending on their preferences. The atmosphere here is pretty chill, and you can often find yourself enjoying some crowd-free sessions.

The waves at Pulau Pisang can get interesting. The right is long and fairly fast, making it a fun ride over a friendly reef. For the best sessions, you're looking at a south swell direction, with favorable conditions coming from the northwest winds. The ideal swell size to aim for is around 3 feet (about 1 meter), but it can handle a bit more at times. When you're out there, keep in mind that the lefts tend to be super sucky and can offer some challenging barrels that require speed and skill, which makes this spot better suited for expert surfers. Tide height plays a role too, as mid to high tide is preferable for catching the best waves.

It's worth noting that Pulau Pisang is not a place for beginners, so if you're planning to hit the waves here, make sure you're comfortable with your skills. The setting provides an exciting surf adventure without the hassle of big crowds, letting you enjoy the waves in a more relaxed vibe.
