Description

Bankvaults - Pulau Masokut Bankvaults features powerful, hollow right-hand reef breaks over sharp coral, offering exhilarating rides for skilled surfers. The waves are known for their intensity, especially during double overhead swells (up to 6 meters). This spot works at all tides, with rising and falling tide movements, making it a dynamic surf location. Accessible only by boat, Bankvaults is situated south of Nipussi and is characterized by a challenging lineup that demands respect. The inside bowl can deliver wide pits, but surfers must be cautious of rips and undertow. While the left side offers a more dangerous alternative, the right-handers provide the most rewarding experiences. With few surfers during the week, this spot is ideal for those looking to test their limits in a powerful and shifty environment.
