East Timor

Wondering if there are surfable waves someplace you've never visited? Or have you had an injury and want to compare experiences? Do it here!

East Timor

Post by MAKC » Wed Apr 13, 2005 10:13 pm

Hi there.

I've got a friend teaching in East Timor and am thinking to go visit in May / June.
Am thinking to throw in a couple of boards and try to find waves.
Are there some on the southern coast?
Or anywhere for that matter?

I read somewhere to look out for crocs... yikes!.

Any help on the waves front much appreciated.

Just in case anyone else is interested.
I went to ET with a board and just carried the f*cker for 2 weeks.
I did see some swell down (only 3ft)on the South coast but it dropped too fast for me to even find somewhere to get in.

The other turn-off is that the South side of the island is where all the saltwater crocs are and everyone is fairly paranoid about them. I reckon if you had some time and got a boat and did a trip along the coast you'd definately find some wave action on the south side.(don't worry about the crocs: they're hopeless at cutties).

ET was fantastic place although roads, food, accom etc is still pretty thin on the ground. Great to be giving some $$ to a people with over 30 years of shocking political strife and personal trauma.

Anyway, would love to hear from anyone who has more luck than me over there wave-wise.

M
