About Dylan’s Right
A Direita do Dylan (também chamada simplesmente de Dylan's) é uma direita afiada, longa e oca localizada na costa sudoeste de Simeulue, em frente a um canal profundo com fundo de coral. Seu take-off é comprometedor, mas a recompensa é um tubo perfeito e prolongado, seguido por seções ideais para manobras. É uma onda que rapidamente ganhou fama por sua consistência, qualidade e as pequenas multidões em comparação com spots semelhantes nos Mentawais ou Bali.
Local knowledge
Coral vivo raso e afiado ao longo de toda a linha — o take-off é sobre um recife que fica muito fino em swells maiores, e quedas aqui significam cortes de recife, não areia macia. A onda quebra ao lado de um canal profundo, então há uma corrente perceptível puxando você em direção a ele e ao longo dele nos conjuntos maiores, e em uma maré baixa de primavera, a borda do recife interno é genuinamente perigosa. Você está remoto na costa sudoeste de Simeulue, então qualquer laceração de recife ou queda de prancha está a horas de ajuda médica real — traga um bom kit de primeiros socorros e trate cortes de coral seriamente para evitar infecções.
A maioria dos surfistas chega ao Dylan's de barco ou fica em um dos acampamentos de surf nas proximidades e rema através do canal profundo que corre ao lado do lineup — esse canal é seu amigo, tanto para a remada fácil quanto para uma saída que mantém você longe do recife seco. Se você estiver acessando pela costa, espere uma caminhada sobre o recife e uma remada a partir de uma pequena praia ou ponto perto do acampamento; botas de recife são uma boa ideia para a entrada e saída. Sincronize suas sessões com a maré — maré média a alta lhe dá mais água sobre o interior e uma saída mais segura.
Esta é uma direita oca, rápida e de performance que exige um step-up limpo — uma boa prancha pintail de 6'4" a 6'8" ou um step-up para dias sólidos de altura de cabeça ou mais, para fazer o take-off íngreme e comprometido e manter uma linha através do tubo. Em swells maiores e mais pesados, traga uma semi-gun de 7'0" ou mais; guarde a shortboard apenas para os dias menores e mais brincalhões.
mellow — relaxed vibe.

Surfing in Simeulue
Full Simeulue surf guide →Tucked off the northwest tip of Sumatra in the province of Aceh, Simeulue is one of Indonesia's most underrated surf islands — a low-key, jungle-fringed outpost where empty reef passes still outnumber surfers on most days. It sits in the same swell-rich corner of the Indian Ocean as the Mentawais and the Hinakos, but with a fraction of the crowds and a far easier journey than the boat-only Ments.
✈️Getting there
Getting to Simeulue is easier than most remote Sumatran surf islands. The usual route is a domestic flight from Medan (Kualanamu International Airport) on mainland Sumatra to Simeulue's airport near Sinabang, the island's main town. Flights run roughly daily on small aircraft, so even shorter trips are feasible.
🛵Getting around
Once on Simeulue, the simplest option is a scooter. Many homestays and resorts can sort a rental, and a bike gives you freedom to check different reefs and beaches at your own pace. Roads on the main routes are reasonable but expect rougher, potholed stretches and the odd river crossing once you head off the spine of the island.
🌤️Climate & season
Simeulue is tropical and warm all year, with water temperatures comfortable for boardshorts or a thin top — no wetsuit needed.
