My brother is a surfer he has just come back from Lombok and I have some information he gave me on surfing in Lombok:Surfers, especially those that go to Indonesia to surf and are prepared to venture further than Bali (which is being consumed by its own crowds) will discover Lombok rewarding beyond all expectations.

There are many great surf breaks in Lombok.

Lombok have arguably the best left hand wave in the world at Desert point or Bangko-Bangko with barrels [hollow breaking waves], that run forever like there made by some wave machine. Although surfing it can get very crowded and sometimes, at low tide, very shallow.

Many surfers have stitches from Desert point in the south of Lombok.

Complimenting Desert Point,Lombok have places like the Kuta region (not to be confused to Kuta Bali) supporting great surf at locations like Maui. A good left, but not at low tide, Airguiling in the wet season not far from Maui has great waves too.

Gerupuk a left and right that is more suited for long boards. Without forgetting as well, outside Gerupuk a deep peaky wave that will have some big peaks in bigger swell these breaks are only accessible by boat.

Just around from Geripuk there is Ekas Bay supporting a great inside right and a long lefthander breaking further out in the bay that can get sizeable swell. Heading up the west coast of Lombok you head into the Sengiggi region. Sengigg reef itself is a right, on one side and a left on the other-right breaking waves or left breaking as they head to shore.
