Sereweh provides fun performance waves for the regular footer who froths on going right. The best time to surf Sereweh is when every other surf spot on Lombok is flat and the winds are non-existent. Early morning is best to beat the wind due to the break being extremely exposed. Sereweh can barrel when the conditions are just right and the tides are lower, but mostly you will be attacking the lip, throwing buckets and racing down the line looking for the odd ramp to test out your balance in the air.

Redazione
One of the lesser known areas of Lombok Sereweh is out on the exposed SE coastline and is ideal for kite and windsurfing, but also offers fun surf in the parts of the year when there is very little swell. A large channel in the reef provides a curved section of reef that produces sections of right-hand waves. A mission to get to by boat and land, however, going by boat from Awang is your best option.
