Rote Surf Accommodation
Beach Front Rote Surf Accommodation overlooking 4 waves.
Waves for surfers (and foilers) of all levels
With uninterrupted views over 4 different surf spots of Rote: T-Land, Squealers, the Sandbank and the Bombie. Suckie Mamas, yet another great surf spot, is just a few minutes boat ride from WaveHaven. In fact, Rote island is packed full of amazing surf spots.
peace & quiet
From Wavehaven boutique surf villa, you can see across to T Land, but even closer, right in front of Wavehaven, is the really fun wave of Squealers. Actually, Squealers is not just ‘a’ wave, but a fun selection of waves to suit all levels of surfers and these days, foilers too.
In fact, for foiling, there are few waves in Indonesia that are better. Squealers has a few different sections. The main wave is an A-frame consisting of a short left-hand shoulder and a longer right-hand shoulder – waves constantly reform on the inside, leading to some really long rides (prepare for tired shoulders as you paddle back to your preferred take-off spot).
Squealers is also a superb beginner wave with a reliable area for taking off in the white water and enjoying a very long ride as the waves reform. Squealers doesn’t work on a low tide, but on a mid-to-high tide, it’s great fun.
From our villa, once your surf session is over, you can continue to enjoy watching people surfing and foiling as you lounge around the infinity-edge pool, or lie on one of the sun loungers.
Long left waves
Nemberala Rote, otherwise known as ‘T-Land’ is one of Indonesia’s best-kept secrets.
Arguably it is one of the longest left-handers in the whole of the Archipelago.
Whilst surf spots like Desert Point and some in the Mentawai Islands attract hardcore barrel-seekers who are keen to surf over shallow reefs, T Land (Nemberala) is much more suited to surfers who want a long, fun ride, perfect for practicing turn after turn.
T-Land is a reef point break and the shape of this wave generally is ideally suited to experienced surfers who don’t need to be risking injury or skin scrapes to have a thrilling ride.
That’s not to say that T Land/Nemberala does not have days where the feint-hearted best stay on the beach, for it’s a powerful wave always, and on a big day, it’s pretty daunting for anyone but those with impact vests and big surfboards. Most of the time, it’s a relatively gentle take-off and a reliable 100 to 150m ride. Surfable on all tides, Nemberala/T Land really is a cracking wave.
