About this spot

Tanjung Pemalikan sits on the coast near Nusa Penida in Indonesia, delivering consistent waves that work throughout the year. The break is located within Kawasan Konservasi Perairan Nusa Penida, a marine protected area that safeguards the region's ecosystem while offering surfers a pristine, less-crowded alternative to nearby hotspots. The point break setup creates long, shapeable rides suitable for intermediate and experienced surfers. The protected status of the surrounding waters means the reef structure stays intact and healthy, supporting stable wave formation. Local knowledge and respect for conservation rules enhance the experience for everyone in the water. Access via Nusa Penida is straightforward from Bali, though conditions and boat schedules should be checked before any trip. The area's marine life is robust, with recorded species observations reflecting the health of the ecosystem. Community videos show the wave character and current conditions, giving surfers a realistic preview before committing to the journey. Tanjung Pemalikan rewards committed surfers with consistent, clean waves and the satisfaction of surfing in a place where conservation efforts matter. Check local conditions and tide windows before heading out.

  • The reason I don't go here is Shark. I guess many surfers are like me, too. Balian is already famous enough for the good waves.
