Surfing at Cap Karoso

Experiences

Top-notch waves without the crowd

Cap Karoso is located in the Kodi region of Southwest Sumba, on the westernmost tip of the island. On the shores of the Indian Ocean, discover a prime place for surfing, with no crowds hustling for a wave. Conquer the waves and feel the captivating freedom of being at one with the force of nature.

The best season for surfing in Sumba is from March to October, when the winds gently pick up and barrels start forming along the coastline. Cap Karoso is perfectly located to reach several breaks along the South coast, presenting opportunities to a wide range of experience levels, from absolute beginners to expert. 

With two seasoned surf instructors we offer a variety of services, ranging from taking your first ever surf lesson on Karoso Beach, to exploring the coast for a full day of surfing adventures, and everything in-between! Just starting out but have some experience; a half day of surfing Sumba with an instructor is ideal, and for those who prefer to explore on their own, we propose board rental and dedicated vehicle with driver.
