About Bima Bay Outer
Bima Bay Outer adalah point break yang membentuk garis panjang dan konsisten ke dalam perairan terlindung Bima Bay, menjadikannya pilihan unggulan bagi peselancar tingkat menengah yang mencari panjang dan ritme daripada kekuatan mentah. Ombak ini cenderung lebih teratur dibandingkan dengan reef break yang terbuka di daerah tersebut, menawarkan perjalanan dari hidung hingga ekor yang sempurna untuk membangun aliran dan kepercayaan diri. Tempat ini dapat menangani berbagai jendela ombak dan merupakan perubahan kecepatan yang menyenangkan dari tawaran Sumbawa yang lebih berat. Pemandangan teluk yang indah menjadikan perjalanan mendayung pengalaman tersendiri.
Local knowledge
Point ini membentang di atas campuran reef dangkal dan batu-batu tersebar di dekat ujung — perhatikan sirip dan pergelangan kaki Anda saat pasang surut rendah, dan bulu babi bersembunyi di celah-celah reef sehingga sepatu boot layak dipertimbangkan. Arus sedang mengalir kembali di sepanjang point saat pasang surut keluar, yang membantu mendayung keluar tetapi bisa mengejutkan Anda jika Anda terseret jauh saat perjalanan panjang. Lalu lintas kapal adalah perhatian nyata: Bima Bay adalah pelabuhan komersial dan penangkapan ikan yang aktif, jadi tetap waspada terhadap ketinting dan kapal-kapal besar yang melintas di teluk, terutama di pagi hari.
Berdasarkan di kota Bima, sewa ojek atau sewa skuter ke selatan menuju garis pantai timur teluk — sebagian besar peselancar menggunakan desa nelayan kecil dekat point sebagai tanda mereka, di mana Anda dapat meninggalkan tas papan Anda dengan warung lokal untuk sedikit tip. Perjalanan mendayung cukup sederhana, sekitar 200–300 meter, dan Anda dapat menggunakan arus di sepanjang point untuk mempermudah; keluar kembali ke tebing berbatu yang sama tempat Anda masuk, dengan timing di antara set. Sebagai alternatif, negosiasikan penurunan kapal dengan salah satu nelayan lokal dengan beberapa dolar — langkah cerdas jika arus mengalir deras atau pasang surut rendah di atas batu masuk.
Mid-length atau longboard performa (9'0"–9'6") adalah ideal untuk memaksimalkan garis panjang dan mengalir dari ombak serta memanfaatkan ombak yang lebih kecil dan teratur. Pada hari-hari langka ketika ombak yang lebih kuat mengalir melalui teluk dan point mendapatkan dorongan, turunlah ke shortboard serbaguna (6'2"–6'6") atau funboard untuk menjaga responsif melalui bagian yang lebih panjang.
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.
