Nembrala


Nembrala is a beach on Rote Island, East Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia. The beach is well known for surfing.
The main wave at Nembrala has several sections, which can link up on bigger days.
-The Point
-Temples or Steeples.
-Mountains
-Lower Mountains/Beginners/Inner Tubes.
The wave tends to be bigger and better when the swell is more west, and suffers from lengthy flat spells. It can hold virtually any size swell, the main problem being the very strong winds in season, which make getting into bigger waves more difficult,. The wave is unusual in that it often gets bigger further down the wave, due to focusing from refraction.
There are numerous other waves in the area, of low to excellent quality, although access is sometimes only by boat, and some of these won't work at different times of the very large tidal range of more than 6m.
These include Boa, Sucky Mamas, Dana, Do'a, the Bommie, and several other offshore island waves, as well as waves further around to the east of the island sometimes without a name, although these need very large swells.
