Pantai Juara is a surf spot located on the east coast of Tioman Island. It’s a pretty laid-back area, often attracting surfers from Singapore looking for a change of scenery. The vibe here is relaxed, and it’s a great spot to enjoy the beach while catching some waves.
The surfing at Pantai Juara is best during the northeast swell, which means it really picks up when the waves come from the north or east. It can handle swell sizes as small as 1 foot (around 0.3 meters), which makes it a decent spot for beginners. The waves break over sand, offering beach breaks that work for both left and right rides. The preferred wind direction is from the west, and you can surf here at low, mid, and high tides.
This spot is generally beginner-friendly, making it a good choice for those just starting out. Just remember, while you might find some nice waves, don’t expect anything too intense. It’s more about enjoying the surf and the surroundings than chasing after huge barrels.
