SUMBAWA ISLAND |
" Sumbawa
Island"
much like neighboring Lombok, much drier than Bali
and other parts of Indonesia. Although four times
larger than Lombok, it is also flatter and the land
is mostly barren with many steep cliffs dropping
straight into sea. The two main surfing areas are
West Sumbawa and the Lakey area. This area has many
steep cliffs that offer scenic backdrops to epic
surf. The Lakey area can be accessed by charter, as
well as by ferry and overland transfers. Here there
are some hotels and surf camps located right in
front of the main breaks of Lakey Peak and Lakey
Pipe, with other waves within walking distance. Most
waves are a long paddle or walk across the reef
depending on the tide. During the dry season (May to
October), the trade winds blow from the Southeast
offering offshore winds to the lefts of West Sumbawa.
Alternately, the winds in the wet season (November
to April), blow from the Southwest which results in
more right breaks with offshore conditions. |

Some of
the best waves in the world can be found at Hu'u, on the south coast. The waves which

reefs: at Periscopes, Nangas, Lakey Peak,
Pipeline, Cobblestones and Nanga Doros.

teams from all over the world have been
conducted here.

The beach
has beautiful white sand with small inlets
that are fine for swimming and snorkeling.
At low tide, it is possible to walk out
along the coral reef exploring the many from
of marine life on view in the shallow rock
pools. Accommodation possibilities right on
the beach adjacent to the many surf breaks
range from budget to moderately priced. The
Hu'u area is roughly five hours from Sumbawa
Besar.
