About Ekas Outside
Ekas Outside est le premier reef break de grosses vagues de Lombok et l'une des vagues les plus puissantes de toute la chaîne d'îles, attirant les surfeurs avancés à la recherche de slabs sérieux et de barrels lourds. Lorsqu'une grande houle du sud arrive, le récif extérieur libère des tubes épais et rapides qui exigent de l'expérience, de l'engagement et un solide jugement en grosses vagues. L'eau peu profonde et les courants forts rendent les chutes conséquentes, donc seuls les surfeurs avancés confiants devraient pagayer. La récompense pour ceux qui le méritent est une vague de classe mondiale, peu encombrée, dans un cadre isolé et magnifique.
Local knowledge
Le récif extérieur est extrêmement peu profond à marée basse — une chute sérieuse ou un hold-down peut vous projeter sur du corail vivant qui va déchirer la peau exposée. Des courants de retour forts et imprévisibles circulent le long du bord du récif et peuvent vous éloigner rapidement du chenal ; sachez où sortir avant de pagayer. Lors de plus grosses houles, les hold-downs à deux vagues sont une réelle possibilité, et la distance de la côte signifie que l'aide met du temps à arriver si les choses tournent mal.
Installez-vous dans l'une des petites maisons d'hôtes ou warungs autour de la baie d'Ekas — la plupart des opérateurs de la baie proposent des transferts en bateau directement vers le récif extérieur, ce qui est de loin l'option la plus sûre et la plus pratique (attendez-vous à un court trajet de 5 à 10 minutes). Il est possible de pagayer depuis la plage via le chenal du côté sud du récif, mais la distance et le courant rendent l'option du bateau fortement recommandée, surtout lors des journées plus importantes ; convenez d'un horaire de ramassage avec votre skipper et d'un signal si vous avez besoin d'une récupération anticipée.
Laissez votre shortboard quotidien à la maison — un step-up ou un semi-gun dans la plage de 6'4" à 7'2" est le choix idéal pour les barrels puissants et rapides ici. Lors de rares petites houles, un shortboard de performance fonctionne, mais lorsque le récif fait ce pour quoi il est connu, un volume, une longueur et une tenue supplémentaires vous garderont en contrôle lors de la chute et sous le lip.
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.
