About Selong Belanak
Selong Belanak é uma praia ampla e curvada localizada a cerca de 30 minutos a oeste de Kuta Lombok, famosa por sua areia branca macia, cercada por montanhas e ondas perfeitas para aprender a surfar. É um dos locais mais recomendados para aulas de surf, com uma atmosfera relaxada e segura, além de muita infraestrutura local. Ao contrário dos reef breaks de Lombok, aqui as ondas quebram sobre um fundo de areia de forma progressiva, tornando a decolagem suave e fácil de controlar. Também é um excelente lugar para longboarders e surfistas que simplesmente querem fluir e se divertir sem pressão.
Local knowledge
Sendo uma praia com fundo de areia, Selong Belanak é o mais indulgente que Lombok pode oferecer, mas o maior perigo aqui é a multidão — dezenas de iniciantes de escolas de surf em pranchas soft-top, ondas empurradas e pranchas descontroladas tornam a parte interna uma verdadeira zona de colisão, então fique atento. Correntes de retorno se formam ao longo da baía, especialmente em direção aos cantos da península e após alguns dias de swell, e podem arrastar um iniciante cansado rapidamente; a quebra na costa também pode ficar forte e pesada em marés altas nos dias maiores.
Acesso fácil — dirija cerca de 30 minutos a oeste de Kuta Lombok em uma estrada agora decente e estacione no estacionamento à beira-mar (pequena taxa); muitos warungs e barracas de aluguel de surf estão alinhados na areia. Basta caminhar diretamente da praia e remar através dos canais entre os picos — sem reef, sem pedras, apenas uma entrada de areia suavemente inclinada. A zona de decolagem tranquila fica no meio da baía, com picos mais limpos e menos lotados se você caminhar em direção a qualquer uma das extremidades.
Este é o paraíso dos longboards e mini-mals — traga uma prancha longa ou uma foamie nos típicos dias pequenos e suaves para aproveitar ao máximo as longas e suaves paredes. Quando um pouco mais de swell entra, uma fish ou funboard permitirá que você encontre as seções mais íngremes e se afaste das multidões das escolas.
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.
