About Mawi

Mawi é um ponto de surf localizado a cerca de 30 minutos a oeste de Kuta Lombok, e é um dos favoritos entre surfistas intermediários e avançados que buscam uma onda mais desafiadora, rápida e poderosa. A baía tem formato de ferradura, cercada por colinas verdes, e oferece uma esquerda com seções tubulares e uma direita mais curta, mas utilizável. Mawi combina acesso relativamente fácil, potência consistente e beleza natural, com menos multidões do que outros pontos próximos. É ideal para aqueles que querem uma sessão de qualidade sem viajar para o extremo oeste, como Desert Point.

Local knowledge

Hazards

O recife em Mawi é raso e afiado, especialmente na parte interna, onde a esquerda lança sua seção tubular sobre corais secos em marés baixas — vá na maré média a alta se você não tiver certeza. A baía em forma de ferradura gera uma corrente forte que corre ao longo das rochas do lado esquerdo, que também é seu canal de remada, então respeite-a e use-a em vez de lutar contra ela. O caminho de entrada/saída é ladeado por ouriços-do-mar e rochas, e a zona de decolagem fica apertada e competitiva quando as ondas estão boas.

Getting there

Fica a aproximadamente 30 minutos a oeste de Kuta Lombok por uma trilha áspera e cheia de buracos que melhorou ao longo dos anos, mas ainda favorece uma scooter ou 4x4; geralmente há rapazes locais cobrando uma pequena taxa de estacionamento no topo da baía. Caminhe até a areia e remada para fora usando a corrente/canal do lado esquerdo (lado do rio/rocha) da baía, que leva você até o pico — não tente passar direto pela zona de impacto. Alguns warungs simples na praia oferecem bebidas, comida e um lugar para assistir ao swell.

Board

Traga sua prancha de surf padrão para dias de altura de peito a cabeça, mas Mawi tem uma verdadeira potência e uma parede oca, então em swell sólido, aumente para uma prancha de 6'4" a 6'8" com mais velocidade de remada e impulso para fazer as quedas íngremes e seções tubulares. Mantenha algo com um pouco mais de borda na coleção para os dias maiores, quando a esquerda realmente se destaca.

Localism

moderate — be polite, wait your turn.

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.
