Each break has a massive channel next to the breaking wave, which makes it very easy to paddle out to the line-up and take regular breaks without getting in the way of other surfers. In addition, all surf spots in the bay boast soft spilling waves when conditions are small and slightly more challenging conditions when the swell is around.
All the waves in Gerupuk Bay are reef breaks, protected by cascading cliffs that make up the bay. When the swell is small, there is always somewhere to surf. Additionally, when the swell is relatively big if one surf spot becomes hard to handle, other surf spots in the bay start breaking and still offer small rolling waves, perfect for learning to surf.
Lombok, Indonesia is actually where the Independent Surfer is based. Although we are an online business, we also offer in-person coaching and are looking to set up our first physical location in Lombok, specifically working outside of Gerupuk Bay, so keep an eye out for that.
