Lakey Peak
Four breaks inside a walk of each other. Dense, social, and the busiest water on the island at dawn.

Reef, and Almost No One Out
Two coasts, a dozen named waves, and a season that runs April to October. All of it breaks over reef.
Surfing in Sumbawa
World-class waves with a fraction of the crowd — and almost nothing forgiving enough to learn on.
Lakey packs four breaks into one bay. West Sumbawa spreads three heavy ones along a coast you drive between. They suit different surfers.
Reef, tide and distance from help are the real variables here. We say so on every page rather than in a footnote.
- Season
- April to October, with June to August the core.
- Zones
- Lakey and Hu’u in Dompu; Maluk and Sekongkang in West Sumbawa.
- Level
- Intermediate minimum almost everywhere. Nungas is the one exception.
- Bottom
- Reef, mostly shallow and live. Booties and a first-aid kit are normal here.
- Stays
- US$25 a night at a camp to US$350 at a resort, usually with meals.

West Sumbawa
Supersuck, Scar Reef and Yoyos, spread along the coast. Heavier water, emptier lineups, longer drives.

Camps and Resorts
Where to sleep. The wave out front is often identical — what changes is how you live between sessions.

Tell Us How You Surf
Level, dates and your quiver. We come back with a coast, a base, and an honest read on the timing.
Free, no obligation. We curate and arrange via a vetted partner — we do not own or operate the resorts.
