Black Sands (Enggros)

Black Sands (Enggros) is a beginner-friendly beach break over a sandy bottom, offering both left and right waves. Sources describe it as working on small swells, starting at less than 1 m and building to around 2 m+, with consistently good wave quality when conditions line up. The break is straightforward for learning because it’s accessible and the waves form in a beach-break setup. Surfing tends to be best around mid to high tide (with notes that rising and falling tides can also work). The spot’s most favorable swell direction is NorthEast, and when the swell and tide timing are right it can produce longer rides on good days—typically short under 50 m, but stretching to roughly 50–150 m. Wind-wise, the spot favors South and Southwest winds as offshore, helping groom the wave faces. For seasonal planning, the most active months are described as November through March, aligning with the region’s stronger swell period; daytime rain can be part of the tropical climate, with heavier rain often noted between December and March. Access is via the same approach road used for Holtekamp. Look for a small wooden guard shack on the left (west) before reaching the shoreline; walking access is instant once you turn in. Infrastructure for water-sports support appears limited, and there’s no lifeguard presence or dedicated rescue service reported—so plan to be self-reliant and follow the basic access/safety checks before entering the water.
