About Selong Belanak
Selong Belanak ist ein breiter, geschwungener Strand, der etwa 30 Minuten westlich von Kuta Lombok liegt und berühmt ist für seinen weichen weißen Sand, die bergige Umgebung und die Wellen, die perfekt zum Surfen lernen sind. Es ist einer der am meisten empfohlenen Spots für Surfstunden, mit einer entspannten, sicheren Atmosphäre und viel lokaler Infrastruktur. Im Gegensatz zu den Reef Breaks von Lombok brechen hier die Wellen über einen sandigen Boden auf progressive Weise, was den Take-off sanft und leicht kontrollierbar macht. Es ist auch ein ausgezeichneter Ort für Longboarder und Surfer, die einfach fließen und sich ohne Druck amüsieren möchten.
Local knowledge
Als Sandboden-Strandbreak ist Selong Belanak so nachsichtig, wie es Lombok nur wird, aber die größere Gefahr hier ist die Menschenmenge — Dutzende von Anfängern in Surf-Schulen auf Softtops, überfüllte Wellen und umherlaufende Bretter machen das Innere zu einer echten Kollisionszone, also halte deinen Kopf oben. Strömungen bilden sich entlang der Bucht, besonders in Richtung der Landspitzen und nach ein paar Tagen mit Swell, und sie können einen müden Anfänger schnell hinausziehen; der Shorebreak kann an höheren Gezeiten an größeren Tagen auch kräftig und dumpf werden.
Einfacher Zugang — fahre etwa 30 Minuten westlich von Kuta Lombok auf einer mittlerweile annehmbaren asphaltierten Straße und parke auf dem Parkplatz am Strand (kleine Gebühr); zahlreiche Warungs und Surf-Verleihstände säumen den Sand. Gehe einfach direkt vom Strand aus und paddel durch die Kanäle zwischen den Peaks hinaus — kein Riff, keine Felsen, nur ein sandiger, sanft abfallender Einstieg. Die sanfte Take-off-Zone liegt in der Mitte der Bucht, mit saubereren, weniger überfüllten Peaks, wenn du zu einem der Enden gehst.
Das ist das Paradies für Longboards und Mini-Mals — bring ein Log oder ein Foamie an den typischen kleinen, sanften Tagen mit, um das Beste aus den langen, sanften Wänden herauszuholen. Wenn ein bisschen mehr Swell kommt, lässt dich ein Fish oder Funboard die steileren Abschnitte finden und von den Schulmengen wegkommen.
mellow — relaxed vibe.

Surfing in Lombok
Full Lombok surf guide →Lombok sits just east of Bali, separated by the deep Lombok Strait, and remains one of the most rewarding surf destinations in the Indonesian archipelago. It carries the spirit of an older Bali — quiet villages, jungle-clad hills, the towering Mount Rinjani volcano to the north, and a string of perfect bays and headlands along the south coast. The surf scene here is laid-back and adventure-driven rather than polished and packaged.
✈️Getting there
Fly into Lombok International Airport (LOP), near Praya in the centre-south of the island — a short 30–45 minute drive from Kuta Lombok and the main surf zone. There are frequent domestic connections from Jakarta, Surabaya and especially Bali (Denpasar), plus some regional international links.
🛵Getting around
A scooter is the default way to explore Lombok's surf coast — cheap to rent in Kuta and ideal for the dirt tracks leading to Mawi, Are Guling and the quieter bays. Bring board racks or a strap, and ride cautiously: roads range from smooth tarmac to potholed dirt, and rural traffic can be unpredictable.
🌤️Climate & season
Lombok has a tropical climate with two clear seasons. The dry season (roughly April–October) is prime time: cleaner conditions, lighter or offshore mornings, and the most consistent south-coast groundswell. This is when nearly every spot — Mawi, Gerupuk, Seger, Are Guling and Desert Point — fires.
