E' piu frequentato nei mesi invernali. Are Guling, with disputed spelling from Are Goling, Air Guling, and Aregoling is one of the many wide-ranging valleys in South Lombok that leads down into a small bay. Imagine surfing at the base of a valley of tropical forest and tall rolling hills. The bay is open and SW facing a large island in the middle. There are two different waves at Are Guling on either side of the bay, a right and a left. The right breaks as a point with a steep inside section and the left breaks over a shelf of the reef at high tides. Both are tide dependent and notable for their fast and peeling shoulders which on occasion pitch to open hollow sections.
What kind of wave is Are Guling Right?
Known as one of the better right’s on the South Coast of Lombok, the right at Are Guling is a right point break that opens to a doubled up barrel section on the inside. From Low to mid tides, with offshore tradewinds, this wave offers an easy take off with ample time and space for maneuvers. The inside can hollow out on bigger swells but Are Guling breaks best at 4-6 feet. Under perfect conditions, the surf can hold 8-10 feet. You can expect fewer surfers here than other spots in South Lombok, even when epic.
What kind of wave is Are Guling Left?
The Left at Are Guling breaks on the opposite side of the bay from the right which puts it bang smack in the middle of the bay. Typically short and hollow, the left can break over a shelf of reef at higher tides that is left high and dry on the lowest tides.
