Wave characteristics

Ujung Bocur is known for: - Powerful, clean left-hand walls - Long rides when the swell lines up - Multiple sections, including fast, hollow parts and more open faces for turns - Best on a solid southwest swell with offshore winds

Conditions

• Best tide: Often works best around mid to high tide, depending on the reef and swell size
• Wind: Offshore winds help create the classic clean shape; morning is often best
• Wave size: Can handle medium to large swells well

Access and atmosphere
