Situated right in front of your hotel you will notice the old 2 storey high photographers tower which still stands strong. Just 30 meters in front is the famous Lakey Peak, breaks with mechanical precision over a perfect, triangular reef. The Peak is just what it says, an intense right & left-hand perfect wave that when breaks peels off both left and right into channels either side. - Lakey Left; Across the channel from the peak is the superior wave, providing intense, open tubes, generally being longer, with right size swell and direction this normally sectiony wave can line up and provide deep, lined-up barrels. The left can be surfed at low tides if the swell is big enough. Holds any size.. - Lakey Right; A few hundred meters down the beach. A short, bowling righthander that breaks into a deep water dent in the reef. Some fun barrels. Holds only to about 8’. the right can fire on the proper swell direction. Hollowest at mid-tides, The main wave Lakey Peak works the best with the high tide happening around mid morning making those early morning mid tide sessions pure gravy. Not a long ride by Indonesian standards, but still manages to get you going for 30-40 meters in each direction. The right hander will often open up for a back door tube ride while the left is perfect for lip bashing and the occasional barrel ride. You don't have to be a pro surfer to enjoy the Peak that's for sure, but you do have to be aware of the mainly flat bottomed reef as the tide drops. Especially when the calendar is showing the full or new moon phase. Getting out to the Peak is easy with only a short 450 meter paddle or you can take the zodiac for around 2 dollars return. Lakey Peak can hold waves up to triple over head in that 6-8ft sector, but the optimum time to hit it is when it's in that perfect 4-6 Feet.
