Lacerations: Requires a two feet wave to be surf able. Best at 4-6 feet.
Two breaks - a hollow shifty left, best at mid to high tide and a hollow right with a fast inside section, best at low to midtide. Has reasonable protection from the wind.

Playgrounds: Left and right peak with deep water take off.

LOMBOK

 

Desert Point: This wave is also known as Bangko-Bangko, it has established itself as a top surfing point. This Left - Hander has a fast inside section, with a shifty take-off area, it barrels and walls along the reef, a long ride…. Best on Mid-tides

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.



Grupuk: Has 4 breaks (2 left and 2 right), smaller left on the inside east shore and larger left on the outside east shore with 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.

Belongas Bay: A long bay with lots of potential. Mainly best in the early season before the winds become too strong. Several rights and left set ups depending on the size and direction of the swell.

Eka's Bay: 2 breaksEka's (Left) outside works on a swell of 3-5foot with a nice barrel. 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)

 SUMBAWA
 

Scar Reef: A long, hollow, left-hand wave which is best at lower tides. Either side of low tide will cause this wave to break further down the line towards the headland. Higher tides bring the wave closer to the inside and cause it to section, although it is still very much worth surfing. Scar Reef picks up plenty of swell depending on swell direction. This wave has a lot of power so be prepared for hold downs if you go over the falls.

Super Sucks: Is the most famous and sought-after wave on this rugged coast but is Sumbawa’s most fickle surfing spot, however when it’s working it’s really working and will make your trip to Sumbawa more than worthwhile. Big walls of water break off a boil rock on the outside of the bay and then bowl and wind down the reef for a few hundred metres. The inside section of this reef gets really shallow and dangerous! Yes, Supersuck has some of the thickest lips in all of Sumbawa (need the booties and be prepared for a few scratches).

Yo-Yo’s: Just south of Super sucks is your best bet when everything else is small. This beautiful bay offers two different spots. The first is about 400 metres from a towering cliff. It is a right, sometimes called The Hook, which gets really good and holds up to six feet of swell. Every 20 minutes or so be ready for the sets, they will catch you out of position all the time. This wave is fast and hollow and features shifting peaks that, well, "yo-yo". It doesn’t handle much wind and breaks and is ride able on all tides except a dead-low one. The second wave here, located right up against the cliff, is called The Wedge and can handle six to eight feet of swell before closing out. It consists of a shifty and mushy outside peak that winds into a fast and bowling inside section
