Nusa Lefts is located at the northern tip of a reef linked to the island where most surfers rest. It's an exposed spot that catches the swell from the ocean, making the waves pop up from deeper waters. As the waves wrap around the shelf, they can bowl out in certain areas. The surf here is generally fast and fluid, and you can find some nice coping. However, the inside section can turn tricky as it breaks over the coral when the waves get heavy.

The spot works best with a swell direction leaning more towards the west than the north and favors south winds. The ideal swell size for Nusa Lefts is around 3 feet (about 0.9 meters) and it's known for its left-handed waves. It can handle different tide heights, whether low, mid, or high, but it's best suited for expert surfers due to the nature of the break. Be ready for the lively reef breaks that come over live coral, which adds a bit of excitement but also requires some skill to navigate.

If you’re hunting for some extra action, there’s an outside bombie that can be ridden when conditions are right. Just keep an eye on the swell and wind directions to make the most of your time at Nusa Lefts.
