About Ekas Outside
Ekas Outside es el reef break de olas grandes por excelencia de Lombok y una de las olas más poderosas de todo el archipiélago, que atrae a surfistas avanzados en busca de slabs serios y barrels de mucho peso. Cuando llega un gran swell del sur, el arrecife exterior desata tubos gruesos y rápidos que exigen experiencia, compromiso y una sólida capacidad de decisión en olas grandes. El agua poco profunda y las fuertes corrientes hacen que las caídas tengan consecuencias, por lo que solo deben remar surfistas avanzados con plena confianza en sus habilidades. La recompensa para quienes se lo ganan es una ola de clase mundial, sin multitudes y en un entorno remoto y hermoso.
Local knowledge
El arrecife exterior es extremadamente poco profundo con marea baja: una caída seria o un hold-down puede lanzarte contra coral vivo que te destrozará la piel expuesta. Fuertes e impredecibles corrientes de retorno corren a lo largo del borde del arrecife y pueden alejarte rápidamente del canal; conoce tu salida antes de remar. Con swells más grandes, los hold-downs de dos olas son una posibilidad real, y la distancia a la orilla significa que la ayuda tarda en llegar si algo sale mal.
Alójate en uno de los pequeños guesthouses o warungs alrededor de la bahía de Ekas: la mayoría de los operadores de la bahía ofrecen traslados en barco directamente al arrecife exterior, que es con diferencia la opción más segura y práctica (espera un trayecto corto de 5–10 minutos). Remar desde la playa es posible a través del canal en el lado sur del arrecife, pero la distancia y la corriente hacen que la opción en barco sea ampliamente recomendable, especialmente en días de swell grande; acuerda una hora de recogida con tu patrón y establece una señal por si necesitas que te recojan antes.
Deja tu shortboard de uso diario en casa: un step-up o semi-gun de entre 6'4" y 7'2" es la elección idónea para los barrels potentes y de caída rápida de este spot. Con swells excepcionalmente pequeños un shortboard de rendimiento puede funcionar, pero cuando el arrecife está en su salsa, el volumen extra, el largo y el hold te mantendrán en control durante el drop y bajo el labio.
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.
