About Are Guling
Are Guling est un spot de surf situé à seulement 15 minutes à l'ouest de Kuta Lombok, caractérisé par une droite rapide et puissante sur récif, ainsi qu'une gauche plus amicale et plus longue. C'est une baie non développée avec un accès semi-remote, ce qui garantit peu de monde même en haute saison. Are Guling est l'un des secrets les mieux gardés du sud de Lombok : elle se brise avec une bonne forme, gère bien le vent et offre des vagues pour les surfeurs intermédiaires et avancés. La vue depuis le lineup, entouré de collines verdoyantes et d'une baie ouverte, en fait un endroit spectaculaire pour surfer.
Local knowledge
Les deux pics se brisent sur un récif corallien peu profond et tranchant qui devient dangereusement exposé à marée basse — la droite rapide en particulier se brise durement sur le récif sec, donc les coupures de récif, les oursins et quelques rochers sont de réels risques. Il y a un courant notable qui tire à travers la baie et peut vous entraîner vers le canal lors d'un plus gros swell, et le cadre semi-remote signifie que l'aide est loin si vous êtes coincé sur le récif. Le timing des marées est essentiel ici ; si vous surfez trop bas, vous surfez sur une lame.
À environ 15 minutes à l'ouest de Kuta Lombok en scooter ou en voiture par des routes secondaires accidentées jusqu'à la baie — garez-vous près des warungs ou de la plage au début de la baie, où quelques stands simples offrent de l'eau et un œil vigilant sur votre matériel. Depuis le sable, c'est une pagaie modérée jusqu'aux pics ; utilisez le canal plus profond entre la gauche et la droite pour sortir et pour entrer, et chronométrez votre entrée/sortie à marée montante pour éviter de rayer le récif intérieur.
Apportez votre shortboard habituel pour la gauche ludique et plus longue lors des journées petites à moyennes. Lorsque la droite fonctionne et que la houle augmente, passez à un 6'4"–6'8" avec un peu plus de pagaie et de maintien pour pouvoir faire la descente rapide et raide et dépasser la section du récif.
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.
