Travelers often tend to rely on the perfect seasons and climates to partake in a life-changing sport, but not at Lombok! This place is perfect for surfing all year round!  The warm, tropical weather is ideal. Lombok, just like Bali, has two distinct seasons: the wet season (October through March and the dry season (April through September). Both seasons come with their perks and shortcomings and the surfing scene is affected by the seasons. Surfers would fare well to stick to the West coast during the dry season as they will encounter cleaner conditions. Since powerful western gusts of wind tend to hit during the dry season, it is most advisable to surf earlier during the day.

The wet season paves way for emptier, warmer beaches and cleaner waves which you will enjoy if you don’t mind getting rained upon, every now and then.

Lombok is the proud host to Asia’s own surf championships and is the surf destination of choice for the much talked about, Rip Curl’s World tour.
