About
Ujung Walur is an exposed reef surfing spot with peeling reef-wave characteristics and a strong emphasis on mid-to-high tide for safer reef coverage. When conditions are right, the break delivers long, fun sections that can feel mellow compared with more aggressive nearby options in the region. Wave-wise, the spot is described as a reef break with predominantly right-hand (and generally peeling) walls, with good-to-moderate wave power. Multiple datasets note the potential for very long rides (with one reporting typical rides around ~150 meters and the possibility of up to ~200 meters on a good day), though the reef’s shallow nature means the best surfing conditions depend heavily on tide and swell. Wind is typically governed by a reliable dry-season trade-wind pattern, with offshore grooming reported when winds blow from the east/northeast directions. Regional guidance also describes a daytime wind window (often developing into the afternoon), which tends to support consistent surfing conditions during the dry months. Safety is the main theme here: rocks and reef hazards are repeatedly emphasized, and the extremely shallow end section can make low tide particularly risky. Local recommendations include focusing on mid to high tide, using a careful route/line when entering and exiting to avoid the reef channel, and wearing booties if you’re not comfortable walking on sharp reef.
- Long peeling reef waves
- Best at mid to high tide to cover the reef
- Relatively few surfers even on good days
- Long, peeling reef-wave potential with good quality when conditions align
- Often uncrowded compared to the broader Krui area
- Offshore wind angles from the east/northeast can help groom the face
- Reef and rocks hazards are significant, especially at low tide
- Extremely shallow end section can shut down the surf
- Currents can become stronger during larger swells

November to March
By sport
What to expect for each.
Exposed reef break with peeling, mostly right-hand waves that can produce long, clean sections when conditions line up. Shallow reef sections can reduce wave safety and may shut down the wave at low tide.
- Wave Direction
- Right
- Optimal Swell
- SW, S
- Swell Height
- 0.9–2.5 m
- Optimal Tide
- Mid — Mid tide for setup; multiple sources strongly emphasize mid to high tide to cover the reef.
- Shelter
- Exposed — Exposed reef break; one source describes semi-sheltered conditions depending on wind/swell.
- Wind Effect
- Best with offshore winds from east-northeast; winds from East/Northeast are described as offshore and groom the wave face.
- Bigger Swell
- Holds size well, but shallow sections may shut down and paddling out can become more difficult; stronger currents may occur on larger swells.
- Wave Quality
- Good — Good wave quality is reported, with notes that quality can be poor on some days even when swell/wind are nominally optimum.
- Wave Power
- Moderate — Moderate power reported.
- Wave Shape
- Peeling — Mostly peeling sections described.
- Peel Speed
- Medium — Medium peel speed reported.
- Ride Length
- Long — Described as long walls and long rides; one source notes up to ~200 meters on a good day and typical ~150 meters.
- Typical Ride Length
- 150–200 m
- Ride Length Details
- Can run long with multiple sections; rides can reach up to ~200 meters on a good day; typical rides reported around ~150 meters on one dataset.

Rules of the spot
Follow standard surfing etiquette and respect the environment; no formal spot rules were documented.
- Be especially cautious at low tide due to extremely shallow reef/reef exposure.
- Watch out for rocks.
- Surf selectively at low tide because the extremely shallow reef can shut down the wave and create a higher risk situation.
- Best results at mid to high tide to cover the reef; low tide can be hazardous.
- Get a line for the channel before going out to avoid being caught in front of the reef (return hazard).
- Booties are recommended for those not comfortable walking on sharp reef.
