About This Break
Mangrove is a left-hand reef break in the Kertasari area of West Sumbawa, Indonesia, in the same mangrove-lined bay as Limestone. It is the gentler of the two waves, with clean, playful walls.
The season is April to October. It is best from a rising to high tide. Smaller days with enough water over the reef are good for progressing surfers and longboarders; bigger swells make the walls faster and punchier.
From the beach, Limestone is the larger, steeper peak to the left and Mangrove is the gentler peak to the right. There is a channel near the end of the wave, which makes it easier to get back out. Beginners should avoid low tide and surf small days with local guidance.
Kertasari and the coast around it have a few surf camps, villas and land plots. Foreigners cannot hold freehold land in Indonesia, so buyers use leasehold or right-of-use titles.
Local Knowledge
Sharp coral reef that gets shallow at lower tide, sea urchins and a long paddle. Currents are possible and sections get more powerful as the swell builds. Beginners should avoid low tide and surf small days with local guidance.
