About Yoyos
Yoyos, également connu sous le nom de Yo-Yo's, est un puissant reef break situé sur la côte ouest de Sumbawa, dans la région de Sekongkang. C'est l'un des spots les plus constants et l'un des plus visités par les surfeurs qui viennent à la recherche de barrels intenses, de murs solides et de zéro foule. La vague principale est une droite qui se brise sur un récif et offre des sections creuses, rapides et maniables. Elle fonctionne à différentes marées et est l'une des plus fiables de la région, avec des sessions épiques du lever au coucher du soleil.
Local knowledge
Le récif corallien peu profond et tranchant est le principal danger ici — la droite se déploie et se barre sur une étagère de récif vivante qui devient très peu profonde à l'intérieur, donc une chute dans la section finale peut signifier des coupures au récif ou pire à marée basse. Il y a un courant notable qui longe le récif et peut vous entraîner le long de la ligne, et la zone de décollage est exposée, donc elle porte une vraie puissance lors des plus grosses houles. Des oursins et quelques rochers de récif sec près de l'entrée complètent les dangers ; apportez des chaussons de récif et un kit de premiers secours de base.
Yoyos se trouve dans la région de Sekongkang à l'ouest de Sumbawa, accessible par la route jusqu'à la côte où il y a quelques warungs basiques et des losmen simples près du point. Garez-vous en haut, descendez le chemin jusqu'à la plage/étagère de récif, puis chronométrez votre entrée depuis les rochers ou le rebord du récif — sautez avec le courant sur la houle montante et utilisez le canal sur l'épaule plutôt que d'essayer de pagayer directement à travers la zone d'impact. Lors des jours plus gros, planifiez votre sortie avant d'être fatigué ; le récif intérieur est impitoyable quand vous êtes épuisé.
Une shortboard de performance propre fonctionne lors des jours plus petits et amusants, mais passez à une 6'4"–6'8" à queue ronde ou à queue en pin une fois que ça devient overhead afin d'avoir la puissance de pagayage et la tenue pour les sections de décollage et de barrel raides et rapides. Sur une houle solide, apportez quelque chose avec un peu plus de longueur et de rocker pour gérer la chute et éviter de se retrouver bloqué sur le mur.
mellow — relaxed vibe.

Surfing in Sumbawa
Full Sumbawa surf guide →Sumbawa is Indonesia's rugged middle child, sitting east of Lombok and west of Flores, and it remains one of the archipelago's last genuine surf frontiers. Where Bali hums with traffic and beach clubs, Sumbawa offers dry savannah hills, empty white-sand bays, dusty roads and fishing villages where life still moves at its own pace.
✈️Getting there
Most surfers reach Sumbawa overland and by ferry from Bali or Lombok. The classic route is Bali to Lombok, then drive across Lombok to Kayangan and take the public ferry to Poto Tano in West Sumbawa (roughly 1.5–2 hours). From Poto Tano it's a 1–2 hour drive to the Maluk/Sekongkang surf zone.
🛵Getting around
Once on Sumbawa, a scooter is the cheapest and most flexible way to reach nearby breaks, and many surf camps in Maluk and Hu'u rent them with board racks. Roads on the main routes are decent, but expect potholes, livestock, dust in the dry season and stretches of rough or unsealed track to remote bays.
🌤️Climate & season
Sumbawa has a dry, hot tropical climate, drier and more arid than Bali, with two clear seasons. The dry season runs roughly April to October — this is prime surf time, with cleaner conditions, consistent groundswell and steady offshore-to-cross trade winds in the mornings.
