T-Land

Best Surf Season (April and September - November)

T-Land is a west-northwest-facing reef where the Indonesian monsoon cycle and Southern Ocean storm track do battle for control of the surf. The best windows arrive when offshore E to SE winds are established but not howling, and when the long-period SW groundswell still has enough push to wrap into the reef. In April and again from September through November, ideal wind percentages sit between 52 and 64 percent, and the swell direction is dominated by the SSW/SW quarter. This is not the absolute straight-in WSW/W window, but the 12-14s periods allow the energy to refract well, and the clean offshore flow keeps the faces lined up. Expect mostly 3-5ft (1-1.5m) surf with periodic larger pulses.
