Tanjung Rights (Serangan)

Tanjung Rights (also known as Tandjung/Tandjungs) is an offshore right-hand reef break in the Serangan/Sanur area. The wave is repeatedly described as fast, powerful, and hollow, with excellent wave quality—especially on larger swells. It is also consistently characterized as a reef setup, so the environment is unforgiving. The spot is strongly tide-sensitive. Low tide is described as dangerous due to shallow water over the reef and sharp coral/rocks; one source also warns about sea urchins in coral holes. High tide is therefore emphasized as the safer approach, and some guides advise paddling out in front of the beach warungs on high tide. Access is commonly via a boat from Sanur, or via a long paddle from the shore, and one source notes the paddle can take over 20 minutes. Performance is most associated with wet-season conditions (roughly November through March, with some sources highlighting December to February and January). South to southwest swell directions are reported as optimal, and west winds are described as best/offshore for grooming the face. When swells build, the break becomes heavy and experts-only, with large-swell behavior described as holding size well while getting very heavy. Crowding and session planning are important. Weekday crowding is described as few/limited in one source, but weekend crowding and “crowded when conditions are right” are reported in others. No formal rescue/lifeguard support is reported, so standard surf safety and controlled entry are critical—especially around the reef, shallow water, and any potential boat traffic. Security may be required to enter Serangan island, with a fee and ID exchange described by one source.
