Lampuuk

Lampuuk is a generally shapeless beachbreak on the Aceh coast, about 15km southwest of Banda Aceh, that works best as a casual session rather than a surf destination in its own right. It needs a solid S to W swell to push anything rideable through, and afternoon glass-offs can occasionally produce wedgy peaks when the onshore wind drops. NE offshores are ideal but rare, most days the surface is messy. Size sweet spot is a modest 3-5ft, and the wave rarely holds shape beyond 50m. Beginners and families dominate the beach, and crowds are seldom a concern. Bottom: beach, with a fringing reef at the southern end. Season: S-swell months, roughly April through October. Consistency: medium at best. Bring a longboard or a fat twin fin for the small days, and manage expectations.
