THE WAVES

Surf

Ekas Bay, a remote and beautiful bay in South East Lombok, has appeal for all levels of surfers. The two surf spots, Outside Ekas and Inside Ekas, offer great surfing in stunning scenery with both safe and more challenging waves.

Ekas Breaks Resort is ideally located only 1km from Ekas Bay, where the two surf breaks are reached easily with the resort boatman in 10 minutes. Thanks to its particular location and set-up, Ekas Bay generally has swell all year round. The peak season is from April until early November, when classic 6-12ft (2-4m) longer period swells arrive from a SSW-WSW direction. The Bay also receives swell during the wet season, usually in the 3-6ft (1-2m) range.

Outside Ekas is a long, hollow wall that breaks left under a cliff face. This wave is for the more experienced surfer, as there can be a bit of water moving around, the take-off can become steep and the wave itself is quite powerful. Best on mid to high tides and a south east wind.

Inside Ekas is the fun and playful little brother. It's suitable for all abilities, breaking long and perfect far inside the bay. The wave breaks as a peak and then peels both right and left. The right is a high quality wave, particularly on the low tide and a larger swell, suitable for advanced surfers. The left winds down the reef on any tide (depending on swell size), a softer wave ideal for the less experienced surfer who wants a classic long ride. Both short and long boards are suitable on the left.

Depending on the tide, swell, wind and your desire to surf something different, there are other potential waves in the nearby Southern Reefs such as Sereweh. These are good in the wet season, or early mornings before the wind comes up in the dry season. These reefs face straight into the swell and so they break nearly all the time. Hollow left and right peaks break in small swells. In large swells, one newly discovered hollow right winds over 800m down the reef on the open coast.
