The Telo islands have been blessed with a variety of waves suitable for all levels of surfer. Beginners, cruisers, long boarders, stand up paddle boarders, advanced short board surfers and even professionals all find waves they love here.

Never-ending story

The Telos span an area of over 50 nautical miles running north to south, right on the equator, with numberless nooks and crannies to search out and surf. Over the past 15 years we have been doing just that, and every season we find something new. To date, we have surfed over 40 quality waves in the area, all of them accessible via fast speedboat from the resort.

Natural heaven

The waves are consistently 3-5 foot, significantly increasing in size when larger swells roll up the Indian Ocean from an area some 3,000nm southward known as the Roaring Forties. We have high quality lefts and rights – though what makes the area a bit different and uncharacteristic for Indonesia, is a surplus of rights over lefts. We have many less intense deepwater waves to suit long-boarders, SUPs and those not quite up to risking life and limb riding monster barrels. There are also plenty of shallower, across-the-reef-style barreling waves that can’t be called anything but world-class setups.
