About Yoyos

Yoyos, auch bekannt als Yo-Yo's, ist ein kraftvoller Riffbreak an der Westküste von Sumbawa, in der Sekongkang-Region. Es ist einer der konstantesten Spots und einer der am häufigsten besuchten von Surfern, die auf der Suche nach intensiven Barrels, soliden Wänden und null Menschenmengen sind. Die Hauptwelle ist eine rechte, die über ein Riff bricht und hohle, schnelle und manövrierbare Abschnitte bietet. Sie funktioniert bei verschiedenen Gezeiten und ist eine der zuverlässigsten in der Gegend, mit epischen Sessions von der ersten Licht bis zum Sonnenuntergang.

Local knowledge

Hazards

Flaches, scharfes Korallenriff ist hier die Hauptgefahr – die rechte Welle bricht und barrel über ein lebendes Riffregal, das im Inneren sehr flach wird, sodass ein Sturz im Endabschnitt Riffverletzungen oder Schlimmeres bei Ebbe bedeuten kann. Es gibt eine spürbare Strömung, die entlang des Riffs verläuft und dich die Linie hinunterziehen kann, und die Take-off-Zone ist exponiert, sodass sie bei größeren Swells echte Kraft hat. Seeigel und der gelegentliche trockene Riffblock in der Nähe des Einstiegs runden die Gefahren ab; bring Riffschuhe und ein einfaches Schnittset mit.

Getting there

Yoyos liegt im Sekongkang-Gebiet von West-Sumbawa und ist über eine Straße zu erreichen, die bis zur Küste führt, wo es ein paar einfache Warungs und einfache Losmen in der Nähe des Points gibt. Parke oben, gehe den Weg zum Strand/Riffregal hinunter und timme deinen Einstieg von den Felsen oder der Riffkante – springe mit der Strömung auf dem steigenden Swell hinaus und benutze den Kanal auf der Schulter, anstatt zu versuchen, direkt durch die Impact-Zone zurück zu paddeln. An größeren Tagen plane deinen Ausstieg, bevor du müde bist; das innere Riff ist unbarmherzig, wenn du erschöpft bist.

Board

Ein sauberes Performance-Shortboard funktioniert an den kleineren, spaßigen Tagen, aber steige auf ein 6'4"–6'8" Rund- oder Pin-Tail um, sobald es overhead wird, damit du die Paddelkraft und den Halt für die steilen, schnellen Take-off- und Barrel-Abschnitte hast. Bei solidem Swell bring etwas mit etwas mehr Länge und Rocker mit, um den Drop zu bewältigen und zu vermeiden, dass du an der Wand stecken bleibst.

Surfing in Sumbawa

Full Sumbawa surf guide →

Sumbawa is Indonesia's rugged middle child, sitting east of Lombok and west of Flores, and it remains one of the archipelago's last genuine surf frontiers. Where Bali hums with traffic and beach clubs, Sumbawa offers dry savannah hills, empty white-sand bays, dusty roads and fishing villages where life still moves at its own pace.

✈️Getting there

Most surfers reach Sumbawa overland and by ferry from Bali or Lombok. The classic route is Bali to Lombok, then drive across Lombok to Kayangan and take the public ferry to Poto Tano in West Sumbawa (roughly 1.5–2 hours). From Poto Tano it's a 1–2 hour drive to the Maluk/Sekongkang surf zone.

🛵Getting around

Once on Sumbawa, a scooter is the cheapest and most flexible way to reach nearby breaks, and many surf camps in Maluk and Hu'u rent them with board racks. Roads on the main routes are decent, but expect potholes, livestock, dust in the dry season and stretches of rough or unsealed track to remote bays.

🌤️Climate & season

Sumbawa has a dry, hot tropical climate, drier and more arid than Bali, with two clear seasons. The dry season runs roughly April to October — this is prime surf time, with cleaner conditions, consistent groundswell and steady offshore-to-cross trade winds in the mornings.
