Beginner Surf Lesson in Selong Belanak Lombok.

Selong Belanak is widely recognized as the premier destination for beginner surfers in Lombok due to its 100% sand-bottom floor and gentle, long-crashing waves. For the 2026 season, the beach remains highly accessible with free entry and a wide range of local surf schools offering lessons.

Surfing Conditions & Best Timing

  • Best Months: The dry season from May to October offers the most consistent swells (2–4 ft) and light offshore winds.
  • Off-Peak: From November to April, waves are typically smaller (1–2 ft), making it ideal for children or absolute first-timers.
  • Skill Level: Primarily a beginner spot. However, “Outside Selong Belanak” can provide larger waves for intermediate surfers. Advanced surfers often take a short boat ride from here to nearby reef breaks like Mawi or Serangan.
  • No Wetsuit Needed: Water temperatures remain warm year-round at 27–29°C; only a rash guard and sunscreen are required.
