Parked in the North Indian Ocean, long range ground swells travel miles and unload in a tropical paradise full of amazing people, waves for all levels, palms and coconuts aplenty.
Indo has 2 seasons, wet and dry. Dry season has the most consistent winds and larger swells but don’t be fooled, if you know where to look there are amazing waves year round.
Sure wet season can be wet, but so can getting pitted in an uncrowded reef break with your mates. Off season can deliver amazing waves and we are as passionate about this time of year as any.
If you are an absolute charger then large dry season swells and heaving 8-10 footers at No-Kandui will be your dream. However, if you love hanging with your mates, sinking a few beers, and perfect shoulder to overhead points and reefs then do not count out the shoulder season.
Here’s a guide to the waves which you might get to surf during your trip. Our operators have years of experience and will do their best to ensure that you’re in the right place at the right time. If you’re lucky they might even let you in on some of their secret spots too!

Stayed at Playgrounds for two weeks and it was fantastic. It’s run by several guys who have been friends for more than 20 years, so the vibe is chilled out with zero hassle. Everything was sorted before I arrived, with people to pick me up and take me to where I was going, and there were no hidden costs anywhere. The accommodation was sweet and setting was beautiful, and the food was great. There were 2x a day boat rides to anywhere in the Playgrounds area, with tons of surf spots to choose from. They were also totally flexible to whatever choices I wanted to make about where and when to go. Everything pretty much exceeded my expectations, so I would highly recommend this place. Thanks guys!
