Rikas Rights (Tuapejat Coast)

Rikas Rights is a right-hand reef break known for hollow, fast, fun waves and world-class wave quality when the swell and wind line up. The wave starts working around roughly 1.0–1.5 m and can hold up to about 2.5 m+ (around 8 ft+), with reef sections that stay fun and driving as the swell builds. The spot is reported to be very consistent (around 150 days per year for the wind component), with Northwest winds providing the best matchup for cleaner, groomed wave faces. Conditions are generally best on mid-to-high tide, particularly rising tide, which helps reduce exposure to the shallowest reef sections. Access is primarily boat-based or by paddling out from the beach area where a surf camp operates. The bottom is sharp reef/coral with rocks, and the end section can become shallow; taking off too late can put you into the reef, so early adjustment is important. Because the location is remote and formal rescue/lifeguard support is not present, plan for self-sufficiency. Gear focused on impact protection and reef safety (and a leash) is commonly recommended, and serious injuries may require evacuation to Padang.
