Lagundri Bay, Nias

Lagundri Bay, Nias is an SSW-facing point break in Teluk Dalam, North Sumatra, Indonesia. It picks up swell from S to NW, and land, islands, reefs or shallow banks block about 37% of the directions it faces. Offshore wind here blows from the NNE: light winds or NNE breezes usually mean the cleanest surf, while SSW onshores chop it up.

Rare slot: a gap beside Siberut lets in swell from 158.8° (SSE) and nothing either side. It only lines up when a storm sits in that exact direction, more than 214 km out. How slot swells work
