Seasons
Seasons
Krui is best enjoyed during the dry season from April to October, when consistent Indian Ocean swells and light offshore winds create perfect conditions across its many reef and beach breaks. The wetter months from November to March bring smaller, playful waves, lush green landscapes, and a slower, more peaceful pace — ideal for relaxation, exploration, and soaking in the rhythm of coastal Sumatra.

Our Recommendation
For the ultimate Krui experience, we recommend visiting during the high season (April–September), when the swells are strongest, winds are offshore, and world-class waves line the coast from Ujung Bocur to Way Jambu. Spend your days scoring perfect lefts and rights, then relax with a sunset view over the Indian Ocean. For a quieter, more personal getaway, the low season (November–February) offers smaller, playful waves and lush scenery. Mid-season (March & October) brings a balance of consistent surf, warm weather, and a laid-back Sumatran vibe.
