Mulai dari pola musim, lalu cocokkan dengan break dan levelmu. Cek swell, angin, serta tide lagi mendekati hari sesi karena kondisi bisa berubah cepat.
Setiap destinasi punya break dengan karakter yang berbeda. Buka detail Surf Spots untuk melihat level, tipe break, dan konteks akses sebelum memilih tempat surf.
Amati lineup, pahami jalur masuk dan keluar, serta hormati aturan lokal. Jika belum yakin, tanya surfer atau partner lokal yang mengenal area tersebut.

Before you go
Board recommended
Rentals work in Kuta/Gerupuk; bring your own for Desert Point or specific shapes.
LOP gateway
Fly into Zainuddin Abdul Madjid; ~20–30 min indicative to Kuta Lombok.
Airline rules vary
Domestic board fees and ATR limits still apply on Indonesian carriers — verify before flying.
MotoGP booking pressure
9–11 Oct 2026 — lock stays early if traveling anywhere near the window.
No Bali levy
Entry is VOA + All Indonesia — Lombok has no provincial tourism levy.
Key warnings
Seasonal timing
Practical south-coast surf ~Apr/May–Oct; Jun–Aug strongest for advanced breaks like Desert Point. Wet season can bring rain, flood, and road disruption. Rinjani operations are seasonal — verify trail opening before planning summit days.
Getting there
Plan by water
Most Lombok surf travel is road-based, while Gerupuk uses local boats and wider Bali–Lombok itineraries can be charter-led.
Fast-boat and charter departure
Boat use is a trip-planning choice, not a substitute for local conditions or operator advice.
Surf charter operators
Marine access and transfer conditions can change. Confirm current arrangements with your operator or the relevant local authority before travel.
Bringing your board
Recommendation: Recommended — Rent if you are flexible and based in Kuta/Gerupuk. Bring if Desert Point is the mission or you need a trusted performance board.

Money & Payments
Cards and QRIS work well in tourist Kuta and Mandalika, but cash still matters for village boats, rural warungs, and many Gili vendors.

Indonesian Rupiah
IDR · Rp
Local currency for everyday spending
Withdraw Indonesian rupiah in Mataram or the Kuta hubs before Desert Point, rural south-east days, or Gili hops. Keep cash for boats and small vendors even if your stay accepts cards.
Carry enough IDR for boat transfers and one buffer day away from hub ATMs. Keep a small emergency stash separate from your everyday wallet.
Best handled in Mataram or along the main Kuta and Mandalika strip. Options become limited once you leave those hubs.
| Mode | Board | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Private driver | Yes | Airport, Desert Point, multi-area days |
| Scooter | One board | Kuta–Gerupuk–Selong Belanak loop |
| Gerupuk outrigger | Yes | Bay reef peaks |
| Ferry / Gili boat | Declare | Bali–Lembar or Gili crossings |
An IDP with motorcycle endorsement is the prudent legal posture if riding — enforcement practices vary but insurance validity depends on it.
Essentials
Adequate in Kuta/Mandalika and Mataram; thinner toward remote west and foothills.
Strongest public referral is RSUD Provinsi NTB in Mataram (IGD + air medical evacuation coordination).
Private driver for boards and distance; scooter for the south loop; boats for Gerupuk and Gilis.
VOA / e-VOA + All Indonesia arrival card. No Bali provincial tourism levy on Lombok.
Practical south-coast surf window ~Apr/May–Oct (Jun–Aug stronger for advanced breaks). Wet season can bring flood/road disruption.
