Asu is a fast and predictable left-hander that opens up to a fast and open shoulder with almond barrel sections. Known to break anywhere from 2-15 feet, Asu is sometimes considered one of the greatest waves in Sumatra, especially with offshore conditions. Asu handles larger swells with grace and poise, expect longer barrel sections where speed is essential. Located on the northern tip of Pulau Asu, a separate island from Nias, you’ll want to consider accessing this break by boat or crashing at Asu Camp which is the islands surfing accommodation. From Asu Camp, you can access plenty of other surf breaks on the island as well that vary in left and right hand waves that all work on different winds and swells. Either way, be sure to bring your booties as you might find yourself trekking over a section of the reef before paddling back outside.
