Supersuck Surf Guide
An aptly named thick left-hand beast that first breaks off an outside boil before grinding along the base of the sheer cliff inside Malok Bay, located on Sumbawa's southwest corner, it offers a long, dangerously shallow barrel that, yes, sucks all the water off the sharp reef. Get barreled or get pitched, period. Experts only. But it's a fairly fickle wave that doesn't always break, with many swells passing it right by; Supersuck needs at least an 8-foot swell with a bit of west in it to bend around the headland that blocks the southeast trade winds. One of the world's heaviest waves.
