About Are Guling
Are Guling es un spot de surf situado a tan solo 15 minutos al oeste de Kuta Lombok, caracterizado por una derecha rápida y potente sobre reef, así como por una izquierda más amigable y larga. Es una bahía sin desarrollar con acceso semirremoto, lo que garantiza pocas personas incluso en temporada alta. Are Guling es uno de los secretos mejor guardados del sur de Lombok: rompe con buena forma, aguanta bien el viento y ofrece olas tanto para surfistas intermedios como avanzados. La vista desde el lineup, rodeado de colinas verdes y una bahía abierta, lo convierte en un lugar espectacular para surfear.
Local knowledge
Ambos picos rompen sobre un reef de coral poco profundo y afilado que queda peligrosamente expuesto con la marea baja —la derecha en particular golpea con fuerza sobre el arrecife seco, por lo que los cortes de reef, los erizos y alguna que otra roca son riesgos reales. Hay una corriente notable que atraviesa la bahía y puede arrastrarte hacia el canal con un swell de tamaño, y la ubicación semirremota significa que la ayuda está lejos si te quedas atrapado en el reef. El momento de la marea lo es todo aquí; surfearla demasiado baja es como surfear sobre una cuchilla.
A unos 15 minutos al oeste de Kuta Lombok en scooter o coche por caminos de tierra irregulares hasta la bahía —aparca cerca de los warungs o en la playa al fondo de la bahía, donde unos sencillos puestos ofrecen agua y vigilan tu equipo. Desde la arena, el paddle hasta los picos es moderado; usa el canal más profundo entre la izquierda y la derecha para salir y para entrar, y elige el momento de entrada y salida con marea media subiendo para evitar raspar el reef interior.
Trae tu shortboard habitual para la izquierda más jugable y larga en días de ola pequeña a media. Cuando la derecha esté encendida y el swell suba, pasa a una tabla de entre 6'4" y 6'8" con algo más de paddle y control para poder hacer el drop rápido y empinado y superar la sección del reef.
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.
