The spot features a powerful left-hand reef break with fast, hollow waves breaking over a sharp coral reef bottom. Access to Vinakaland is only possible by boat charter, and after arriving by boat, you need to walk for over 30 minutes to reach the break. The surf spot works best during medium to high tide, especially when the tide is rising. The ideal wind direction is from the east, and the best swells come from the southwest to south.

The remote location means you will not find many people in the water, but if the spot is crowded, always respect the locals and check the surf etiquette.
