About Miller's Right
Miller's Right est un puissant reef break creux sur la côte sud-ouest de Sumba qui exige le respect des surfeurs expérimentés. Il génère des droites rapides et tubulaires sur un reef acéré, offrant le genre de tubes lourds pour lesquels les surfeurs avancés parcourent de grandes distances. Les houles doivent être lues avec soin, et le reef peu profond signifie que les chutes peuvent être sévères. Préparez une bonne quiver et venez prêt pour l'une des vagues les plus palpitantes de Sumba.
Local knowledge
Le reef à Miller's Right est extrêmement peu profond à marée basse — une chute lourde sur la section sèche peut entraîner de sérieuses lacérations dues aux coraux tranchants, donc des chaussons de reef et un casque sont fortement recommandés. Un fort courant latéral longe le reef avec la poussée et le tirage de la houle, rendant facile d'être entraîné au-delà du chenal si vous ne faites pas attention. Les oursins sont nombreux sur la plateforme du reef, donc évitez de poser vos pieds n'importe où en dehors du chenal sablonneux.
Les routes de la côte sud-ouest de Sumba sont rugueuses — un 4x4 ou une moto est essentiel pour atteindre le chemin menant à la plage. La plupart des surfeurs se basent à Pero ou Waitabula et conduisent soit au point d'accès le plus proche, soit organisent un court transfert en bateau avec un guide local, ce qui est l'option préférée lors des grosses houles lorsque le passage à travers le chenal est difficile. Entrez par le chenal à l'intérieur gauche du break ; n'essayez pas d'entrer ou de sortir par le reef lui-même.
Sur une houle standard de 3 à 6 pieds, un shortboard de performance ou un step-up dans la gamme de 6'2" à 6'8" avec un peu de volume supplémentaire convient parfaitement aux sections rapides et creuses. Lorsque la houle dépasse 6 pieds, apportez un vrai step-up ou semi-gun — cette vague devient épaisse et puissante rapidement, et être sous-armé sur les plus grosses séries vous mettra dans une situation difficile.
moderate — be polite, wait your turn.

Surfing in Sumba
Full Sumba surf guide →Sumba feels like a slip back in time — a wild, low-key island southeast of Bali that has so far escaped the development that reshaped its neighbours. Vast savannah plains, rolling hills, megalithic villages and empty golden beaches define a landscape that surfers describe as the Indonesia they were chasing all along.
✈️Getting there
Most travellers fly in via Bali (Denpasar). Sumba has two airports: Tambolaka (Waikabubak) in the west and Waingapu in the east, both served by short domestic flights from Denpasar, with some connections via Kupang or Bali several times daily.
🛵Getting around
Sumba is large and spread out, and the surf zones are far apart, so transport planning matters. Scooter rental is possible in the bigger towns, fine for short hops but tiring and exposed for long cross-island runs — and roads vary from decent asphalt to rough, potholed stretches.
🌤️Climate & season
Sumba has a pronounced dry and wet season. The dry season, roughly April to October, is prime time: cleaner conditions, dependable groundswell and the prevailing trade winds that groom the swell-exposed coasts. This is the core surf window.
