varie onde poco affollate. Sistemazioni a quattro stelle di qualita' internazionale a prezzi abbordabili.
Depending on who you talk to, you’ll hear about the Senggigi lefts or Senggigi rights. Either wave needs plenty of tide and a little extra push to clear the reef. Paddling out at low tide may leave you high and dry. The left wraps around the point to an open bowl with a testy barrel section. Aptly named “baby deserts” on lower tides the reef sometimes finds a way to poke up through the barrel. Surf schools have started to show up in the line-up but you can expect empty surf most days.
What kind of wave is Senggigi Right?
On a good day, the shoulder stays steep long and open ripe for maneuvers and an occasionally well-timed barrel. Stays a bit smaller than other breaks in the vicinity under the biggest South and Southwest swells. North winds can line-up the sections and make for longer rides under ideal conditions. The lip breaks thick and clean from the shoulder but stay well ahead of the shoulder on the inside as the reef dries out quickly after the steep drop-in. On the biggest swells, the drop opens up to a hollow barrel section.

Considering the abundance of beautiful white sand beaches and secluded bays with a tropical backdrop on Lombok, Senggigi has a tendency to be more of a stopover than a destination. That being said, if you’re passing through on a decent swell and the tide is right you might be in store for your fair share of good surf. Your best bet is a South or Southwest swell over shoulder high and you might find empty line-ups with long lefts and rights with various sections. Read on to discover how to enjoy the best surfing conditions at Senggigi lefts and rights.
