SUMBA, FLORES, TIMOR, ROTI, IRIAN Island
14
April
These are the major islands further east with an incredible amount of un explored surf potential. The cultures here are very different to the rest of Indonesia, so learn as much as possible from a good general guide book such as Lonely Planet?s Indonesia Travel Survival Kit. Getting supplies of fresh food and clean water can be difficult in the poorer, more remote areas. Transport is slow and sporadic, so make sure you have plenty of time available. The waves is most islands east of Bali are possibly better early season, from around Marc to July, before the strong south-east trade winds kick in. Some breaks are even better in the wet season with north west offshore winds, but the weather can be very hot, stormy, wet and un comfortable.
