AMAN GATI HOTEL LOMBOK - THE SURF

DESERT POINT - This wave is also known as Bangko-Bangko, it has established itself as a top surfing point. This lefthander has a fast inside section, with a shifty take-off area, it barrels and walls along the reef, a long ride…. It tends to start off smaller and then increase in size and speed as it winds down the point. It is tide sensitive and can go from 2 foot slop at high tide to 4-6 foot and barreling as the tide drops. Best on Mid-tides… This wave is definitely for experts only. Transport: It is a full day out as it takes around 2/2.5 hrs to travel to from Kuta Lombok…

BELONGAS BAY - There is a left on the east side of the bay that occasionally gets good with a peakier right with more punch on the west side of the bay.

NORTHWEST COAST - In the northwest coast, there are a number of breaks that pick up swell marching up the Lombok straight. There is a left in front of the Senggigi Sheraton, which wraps into the small bay, but needs a large swell to work. There is also another right around the bay that can get hollow. Other waves include Outside Right and Pertama, but all of the waves here require a lot of swell to start working.

MAWI - Requires at least 2-3 feet to work There are 2 breaks - a long slow left and a very fast hollow right-hander. Both can be easily affected by wind and is best surfed at Mid-tide… The lefts are offshore in the dry season, but works year-round with light winds. The left peals into a deep channel while the right ends in a close-out across the shallow reef.
Transport: Around 30minutes from Kuta Beach.

MAWUN - Requires a 3 foot wave to break properly. This half-moon shaped bay is isolated and beautiful offering a left and a right wrapping into either side of the bay. There are fairly mushy peaks with the right offering more of a wall to work with. Has good protection from the wind. Location is perfection with pristine beaches and natural scenery.
Transport: Around 20 minutes from Kuta Beach.

AIR GULING - Requires a 2 foot wave to be surfable. Best at 4-6 feet. 2 breaks - a hollow shifty left, best at mid to High tide A nice right with a fast inside section, best at low to Midtide. Has reasonable protection from the wind, a great option in the wet season.
Transport: 20 minutes drive and a 20-minute walk or just 20 minutes by boat from Kuta Beach.

TANJUNG AAN - A left on the west side of the bay, can be O.K. at 3 ft and up, this wave shifts around a lot.
Transport: 20 minutes walk around the beach from Kuta Indah or 5 minutes from Novotel.

SIGAR - Best in a small swell 1-3foot. A shorter right peak, which can sometimes barrel, although is easily affected by wind. Best at Midtide.
Transport: 10 minutes drive or a 25-minute walk

GRUPUK - Has 4 breaks (2 left and 2 right)
Smaller left on the inside east shore. Larger left on the outside east shore which shifts around. A fun right on the western shore which is the best on bigger swell, with a steep take off section that tapers out to a full shoulder. The inside section further inshore is a fun right-hander also. All have fair wind protection and is best from 3 foot and up, but can be surfed when it is smaller, the most consistent destination as it peaks up the swell easily.
Transport: 25 minutes drive and then a 10-minute boat ride.

EKA's BAY - 2 breaks
Eka's outside works on a big swell of 3-5foot and is a lefthander with a nice barrel and racy sections that can go for 100 to 200 yards. Eka's inside has a nice easy peak and also needs around 2 -3 foot to work. It is a fun wave (good for beginners)
