Quickly jump to:
The great thing about Lombok surf is that you can surf all year round with a consistent swell and many different breaks to choose from. Rain season, which runs from October to April, is a favorite season to surf. Most of the surf spots are working during this time, and you can find perfect glassy waves in surf spots like Seger and Are Guling. What's also good about the rain season is that it's less crowded, meaning more waves for surfers to enjoy.
Are Guling is a large bay with both a right and a left hand wave and works best in the rain season. Both are reef breaks, with the left tending to be a bit more shallow and sharp. The waves are breaking in the middle of the bay, and you can get a boat to drop you off or paddle out. Before you paddle out, make sure you understand the currents.
Seger beach is a must-visit; not only does it deliver some fun and snappy waves, but it also offers one of the best sunset spots close to Kuta. It's close to Kuta with a short paddle out. At Seger, you will find both a left and a right-hand wave with the right one being more famous and consistent. This break works best in the rain season and on mid to high tide as it sits on a shallow sharp reef with plenty of sea urchins. Seger works best on small to mid-size days as it can’t hold a big swell.
Mawi is one of the most famous waves in south Lombok and is the best and most consistent surf break in the dry season. Mawi is an A-frame reef break that will give you a fun right-hander on a small to midsize swell with faster barreling sections on a lower tide. The left-hander can hold all swells but works best on a 6-8 ft swell and offshore winds, delivering some clean open barrels.
