About Selong Belanak
Selong Belanak es una playa amplia y de forma curva situada a unos 30 minutos al oeste de Kuta Lombok, famosa por su suave arena blanca, su entorno montañoso y sus olas perfectas para aprender a surfear. Es uno de los spots más recomendados para clases de surf, con un ambiente relajado y seguro, y una buena infraestructura local. A diferencia de los reef breaks de Lombok, aquí las olas rompen sobre un fondo de arena de forma progresiva, lo que hace que el take-off sea suave y fácil de controlar. También es un lugar excelente para los longboarders y para quienes simplemente quieren fluir y disfrutar sin presiones.
Local knowledge
Al ser un beach break de fondo arenoso, Selong Belanak es de los sitios más perdonadores de Lombok, pero el mayor peligro aquí son las multitudes: docenas de principiantes de escuelas de surf en soft-tops, olas empujadas y tablas sin control convierten la zona interior en una auténtica zona de colisiones, así que mantén los ojos bien abiertos. Se forman corrientes de resaca a lo largo de la bahía, especialmente hacia las puntas del cabo y tras varios días de swell, y pueden arrastrar rápidamente a un principiante cansado; el shorebreak también puede volverse fuerte y brusco con mareas altas en los días de más swell.
Acceso fácil — conduce unos 30 minutos al oeste de Kuta Lombok por una carretera asfaltada en buen estado y aparca en el estacionamiento frente a la playa (pequeña tarifa); hay abundantes warungs y puestos de alquiler de material a lo largo de la arena. Simplemente camina hasta la orilla y rema por los canales entre los picos — sin arrecife, sin rocas, solo una entrada arenosa y de pendiente suave. La zona de take-off tranquila se encuentra en el centro de la bahía, con picos más limpios y menos concurridos si te alejas hacia cualquiera de los extremos.
Este es el paraíso del longboard y el mini-mal — trae un log o una foamie en los días típicos de olas pequeñas y suaves para aprovechar al máximo las largas y tranquilas paredes. Cuando llegue un poco más de swell, un fish o un funboard te permitirá encontrar las secciones más empinadas y alejarte de las multitudes de las escuelas.
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.
