Surf Spots
Check out some of the surf spots around South Lombok. These are generally the waves that we'll be visiting, but don't worry - this is an island. We are literally surrounded by nothing but ocean (and waves, obviously).
Selong Belanak

30 minutes west from Kuta
-
Beach break

Best on higher tides

Picturesque beach with white sands, turquoise waters and local food huts. The perfect spot for beginners to take their first steps.
Mawi
-
25 minutes west from Kuta
-
Reef break
-
Rising and dropping tide
-
Dry season
Swell magnet which works best from a 3ft ground swell. Provides hollow lefts and rights although on big swell’s the left is more consistent. Very shallow on lower tide. Last bit of road can be tricky.
Are Guling
-
15 minutes west from Kuta
-
Beach break
-
Best on higher tides
-
Good all year round
You will see the waves braking while driving through the hill’s. A very popular classic right hander which can provide nice barrels on lower tides. Expect some crowds when it’s on. There’s a left a bit further but this is very unpredictable and subject to heavy currents.
Tanjung A'an
-
20 minutes east from Kuta
-
Reef Break
-
Rising or dropping tide
-
Good all year round
Very gorgeous bay with white sand beaches. On the right swell there is a good right hander in the middle of the bay, sometimes the left wall’s up to. Long paddle out or take a boat. Not great on a lower tide, it tends to get very shallow.
Gerupuk Inside
-
25 minutes west from Kuta
-
Reef break
-
Rising and dropping tide
-
Dry season
Drive into Gerupuk fishing village and take a boat out. This is Lombok 's most popular waves for beginners and intermediate surfers because of it’s mellow take off and long rides. This forgiving right hander is often a crowd pleaser.
Don Don's
-
25 minutes west from Kuta
-
Reef break
-
Best on higher tides
-
Good all year round
Another gem of the Gerupuk Bay, Don Don's is a classic A-frame wave, offering fun right - and left handed waves. Can get juicy on bigger swells, and will offer you a fast ride. Split the peak, anyone?
Gerupuk Outside Right
-
25 minutes west from Kuta
-
Reef break
-
Mid to higher tides
-
Wet season / No wind days
Inside’s big brother. More challenging and faster waves. It has a few peaks which will divide the crowd a little. As you can tell by the name it’s another right hander.
Ekas Inside
-
55 minutes west from Kuta
-
Reef break
-
Best on mid tides
-
Dry season
Drive 40 minutes east to Awang harbour and catch a boat from there. The inside needs some swell to work. Long left walls for all levels and on low tide a quality right hander for slightly more advanced surfers.
Ekas Outside
-
55 minutes west from Kuta
-
Reef break
-
Mid to high tides
-
Dry season
Can hold a lot of swell and be a heavy left hander with lot’s of water moving around. Still a quality wave on it’s days. Same like it’s little brother, better in dry season when the trade winds are up. Mid to high tides
