Best up to 6 feet and at mid tide. Capable of holding large swells. Doesn't always work to well butcan be real long and fast on a good day but fairly big sections to get past. Great if the rest of thespots are busy which they will be!AtmosphereGeneral

- Localism- Sharks

ADDITIONAL INFORMATIONA good left hander, takes a massive swell to break, caps on the outside before sucking out on theinside reef. Short, intense and fickle.

Pull in and go: this is one of the best waves in the world in my opinion. The longest barrels I havegotten (15 sec. +) super shallow and super sharp but worth it.Big walls of water break off a boilrock on the outside of the bay and suck up into a thick and heavy left that bowls and winds downthe reef for a few hundred meters. The inside section of this reef gets really shallow.AtmosphereSumbawa, located east of lombok. People are not to friendly towards Americans on the island. Bestif you charter a boat from bali. anywhere from 0 - 00 U.S.GeneralPretty average wave by Indo standards, and ultra rare. Offshore in dry season trades, but strangemicro climates due to the heating and cooling of the mountainous and desert coast line often causeday long onshores, even though you can see the whitecaps of the trades on the horizon. Anyonshores ruin this wave completly. Very shallow, high risk, short reward.

There is almost always some kind of surf at Yo-Yo's. If the swell is small, all the boats will end up atthis spot. It's fun from waist high to a couple feet overhead. If the swell is big then head to ScarReef or Super Sucks for big, heavy tubes.GeneralFun wave. Not anywhere near world class, but if you're on a trip to Sumbawa, then it's worthchecking out, especially if the other places are flat.Yo yo's will pick up about any swell direction.
