Description

Rifles - Indonesia Rifles is a renowned surf spot featuring fast, hollow waves that break over a coral reef. This right-hand reef break is known for its powerful and challenging conditions, making it ideal for experienced surfers. The wave works best at mid and high tide, with optimal wind from the north, east, or northeast. Set in a stunning tropical environment, Rifles offers a laid-back vibe, but the waves require skill and respect. While it can deliver some of the longest rides in the world, sections may occasionally shut down, demanding patience from surfers. The paddle back out can be lengthy, so maintaining speed is crucial to stay ahead of the foamball. Access is strictly via wavepark or boat trips, ensuring a unique surfing experience. With few surfers on weekdays and weekends, it provides an exclusive atmosphere for those seeking adrenaline-fueled rides.
