About this spot

About

Kumari Point is an extremely remote, exposed right-hand reef point break on the southern tip of Little Andaman. It’s characterized as a long, high-performance wave that peels over a shallow reef ledge, with rides that can stretch far when swell and conditions line up. The spot’s best window is generally late February through mid-May, with some sources extending “best season” into April–August for more consistent swell and cleaner wind tendencies (noting monsoon transitions can affect conditions). One source specifically lists the May period as the best month, while wind direction guidance commonly points to northwest or north/northeast as favorable for wave/wind alignment. Safety is a major concern: sharp coral reef and submerged rocks are present, along with strong currents that can occur during larger swells. Hazards cited for the area include sharks and the presence of saltwater crocodiles in the wider Andaman region. There are no lifeguards, and rescue availability is described as not provided on-site—so you must be fully self-sufficient. Logistics are part of the challenge: access is remote with no practical land route, requiring boat/transfer plans centered around Hut Bay (itself reached from Port Blair). On-site services are minimal or nonexistent, including food and equipment rental, so bringing your own gear and an emergency/evacuation plan is essential.
