Nihi Watu Surf Guide was founded to bridge the gap between the exclusive waves of Occy’s Left and the surfers who seek to conquer them. As one of the few privately managed surf waves in Indonesia, access to Occy’s Left is restricted to guests of the NIHI Sumba resort. This exclusivity provides a unique challenge for surfers wanting to experience its fast, barreling left-hand reef break. We solve this by offering specialized guiding services that maximize your experience on the wave, ensuring you make the most of your time in this unique surf environment.
