About Kertasari
Kertasari est un reef break qui offre aux surfeurs intermédiaires une vague de qualité dans un coin relativement isolé de Sumbawa. Le break produit des murs consistants et surfables avec suffisamment de forme et de poussée pour des sessions satisfaisantes, sans l'intensité brute des spots plus avancés de la région. Le fond en corail signifie qu'un certain degré de prudence est toujours de mise, mais les surfeurs à l'aise sur le corail trouveront cela très gratifiant. Son emplacement hors des sentiers battus maintient souvent le lineup peu encombré.
Local knowledge
Le récif est peu profond et tranchant — les chutes à marée basse peuvent entraîner des lacérations et des éraflures de récif, donc des chaussons sont à considérer. Des oursins se cachent dans les crevasses autour de la zone d'entrée et de sortie, donc déplacez vos pieds et évitez de vous tenir sur le récif. Il n'y a pas de systèmes de courants d'arrachement significatifs à gérer, mais il est essentiel de garder un œil attentif sur la marée ; cette vague est mieux surfée à marée moyenne à haute lorsque le récif a suffisamment d'eau dessus.
Kertasari se situe dans une section relativement isolée de la côte de Sumbawa — la plupart des surfeurs y accèdent par la route depuis Sumbawa Besar ou Hu'u, avec un chemin rough menant vers la côte ; un 4x4 ou une moto est fortement recommandé. L'entrée se fait directement depuis le récif ou par un canal sablonneux à l'intérieur selon les conditions — observez le lineup depuis la plage avant de pagayer. Il n'y a pas de warungs dédiés juste au break, donc apportez votre propre eau et vos collations ; un petit village de pêcheurs à proximité peut offrir une assistance de base.
Un shortboard polyvalent dans la gamme de 6'2"–6'6" couvre la plupart des conditions à Kertasari — la vague a suffisamment de forme et de poussée pour récompenser une planche de performance. Lors des jours plus petits et plus faibles, un fish ou un hybride vous aidera à tirer le meilleur parti des murs ; si une houle solide arrive, un step-up avec un volume supplémentaire sous votre poitrine vous permettra de garder le contrôle.
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.
