About Don Don
Don Don est un reef break doux et adapté aux débutants sur la côte sud de Lombok, qui voit rarement les foules des pics plus célèbres de Gerupuk. Les vagues sont douces et lentes, ce qui en fait un endroit relaxant pour ceux qui maîtrisent encore les bases du surf. Le reef peu profond signifie que la marée basse peut être délicate, donc il est sage de planifier votre session autour de la marée moyenne à haute. Une atmosphère calme et décontractée facilite la concentration sur l'apprentissage.
Local knowledge
Le reef est peu profond et peut vous surprendre à marée basse — vérifiez toujours la marée avant de pagayer et restez sur des sessions de marée moyenne à haute. Des coraux vivants et des oursins se cachent sous la surface, donc des chaussons de reef sont fortement recommandés pour les débutants qui s'habituent encore aux chutes. Des courants peuvent se former dans le chenal intérieur lorsque la houle passe, alors gardez un œil sur votre position.
Don Don se trouve sur la côte sud de Lombok, près de la zone de la baie de Gerupuk — suivez le sentier côtier vers le sud depuis le village de Gerupuk et cherchez le break au large du promontoire. L'entrée est la plus facile via le chenal à marée moyenne à haute ; descendez les rochers jusqu'au bord de l'eau et pagayez directement à travers le chenal pour éviter le plateau de reef. Une poignée de warungs locaux près du front de mer de Gerupuk sont votre meilleur choix pour un café avant le surf et pour demander aux habitants de confirmer les conditions actuelles.
Un longboard ou un funboard large et volumineux est idéal ici — les vagues lentes et douces récompensent le glissement et le pagayage facile plutôt que les shortboards de performance. Lors des rares jours où la houle augmente, un mid-length d'environ 7'6"–8'6" le gérera toujours confortablement sans dépasser le niveau de compétence d'un débutant.
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.
