About Mawi

Mawi est un spot de surf situé à environ 30 minutes à l'ouest de Kuta Lombok, et c'est l'un des préférés des surfeurs intermédiaires et avancés à la recherche d'une vague plus difficile, rapide et puissante. La baie a une forme de fer à cheval, entourée de collines verdoyantes, et offre une gauche avec des sections tubulaires et une droite plus courte mais exploitable. Mawi combine un accès relativement facile, une puissance constante et une beauté naturelle, avec moins de monde que d'autres spots voisins. C'est idéal pour ceux qui veulent une session de qualité sans avoir à se rendre à l'extrême ouest comme Desert Point.

Local knowledge

Hazards

Le récif à Mawi est peu profond et tranchant, surtout à l'intérieur où la gauche projette sa section tubulaire sur du corail sec à marée basse — allez-y lors de la marée montante si vous n'êtes pas sûr. La baie en fer à cheval génère un fort courant qui longe les rochers sur le côté gauche, qui est aussi votre canal de pagaie, alors respectez-le et utilisez-le plutôt que de lutter contre. Des oursins et des rochers bordent l'entrée/sortie, et la zone de décollage devient étroite et compétitive quand ça fonctionne.

Getting there

C'est à peu près 30 minutes à l'ouest de Kuta Lombok par un chemin rough et plein de nids de poule qui s'est amélioré au fil des ans mais qui favorise toujours un scooter ou un 4x4 ; il y a généralement des locaux qui collectent un petit frais de stationnement au sommet de la baie. Marchez jusqu'au sable et pagayez en utilisant le courant/canal sur le côté gauche (rivière/rocher) de la baie, qui vous emmène vers le pic — n'essayez pas de traverser directement la zone d'impact. Quelques warungs simples sur la plage s'occupent des boissons, de la nourriture et d'un endroit pour observer le swell.

Board

Apportez votre shortboard standard pour les jours de vagues de hauteur poitrine à tête, mais Mawi a une vraie puissance et un mur creux, donc lors d'un swell solide, passez à un 6'4"–6'8" avec plus de vitesse de pagaie et de drive pour faire les drops raides et les sections de barrel. Gardez quelque chose avec un peu plus de rail dans votre quiver pour les jours plus gros lorsque la gauche fonctionne vraiment.

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.
