About Mawi
Mawi ist ein Surfspot, der etwa 30 Minuten westlich von Kuta Lombok liegt und zu den Favoriten unter fortgeschrittenen Surfern gehört, die nach einer herausfordernden, schnellen und kraftvollen Welle suchen. Die Bucht hat die Form eines Hufeisens, ist von grünen Hügeln umgeben und bietet eine linke Welle mit röhrenartigen Abschnitten sowie eine kürzere, aber surfbare rechte Welle. Mawi kombiniert relativ einfachen Zugang, konstante Kraft und natürliche Schönheit mit weniger Menschenmengen als andere nahegelegene Spots. Es ist ideal für diejenigen, die eine qualitativ hochwertige Session ohne eine Reise in den fernen Westen wie Desert Point erleben möchten.
Local knowledge
Das Riff bei Mawi ist flach und scharf, besonders im Inneren, wo die linke Welle ihren röhrenartigen Abschnitt über trockenem Korallenriff bei niedrigem Wasser wirft – gehe bei mittlerem bis hohem Wasser, wenn du dir unsicher bist. Die hufeisenförmige Bucht erzeugt eine starke Strömung, die entlang der Felsen auf der linken Seite verläuft, die auch dein Paddelkanal ist, also respektiere sie und nutze sie, anstatt dagegen anzukämpfen. Seeigel und Felsen säumen den Ein- und Ausgang, und die Take-off-Zone wird eng und wettbewerbsintensiv, wenn es richtig läuft.
Es sind ungefähr 30 Minuten westlich von Kuta Lombok auf einem rauen, löchrigen Weg, der sich im Laufe der Jahre verbessert hat, aber immer noch einen Roller oder ein 4WD-Fahrzeug bevorzugt; normalerweise stehen lokale Jungs am oberen Ende der Bucht und verlangen eine kleine Parkgebühr. Gehe zum Sand hinunter und paddel mit der Strömung/Kanal auf der linken (Fluss-/Felsen-) Seite der Bucht hinaus, die dich zur Spitze trägt – versuche nicht, direkt durch die Impact-Zone zu paddeln. Ein paar einfache Warungs am Strand bieten Getränke, Essen und einen Platz, um die Welle zu beobachten.
Bring dein Standard-Shortboard für Tage mit Brust- bis kopfhohen Wellen mit, aber Mawi hat echte Kraft und eine hohle Wand, also steig bei solidem Swell auf ein 6'4"–6'8"-Board um, um zusätzliche Paddelgeschwindigkeit und Antrieb zu haben, um die steilen Drops und Barrel-Abschnitte zu meistern. Halte etwas mit mehr Rail in der Quiver für die größeren Tage bereit, wenn die linke Welle wirklich gut läuft.
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.
