đââď¸ Surfing at Serangan Beach â A Local Hidden Gem in Lombok
Hey! Iâm a local surfer here in Lombok, and today I want to share a spot that doesnât always make the tourist mapsâbut should. Serangan Beach is one of those places that feels like a secret, even to some people living here. And if youâre a surfer looking for clean waves and quiet surroundings, youâre gonna love it.
đ Where Is Serangan Beach?
Serangan is located on the southern coast of Lombok, not too far from Kuta. Itâs a bit tucked away, so the beach stays quiet most of the time. The drive is smooth compared to places like Mawiâyouâll pass small villages and rice fields, and then suddenly, youâre there. A clean stretch of beach with open views and good energy.
đ The Waves â Clean, Consistent, and Underrated
Now letâs talk waves. Serangan is a reef break, but itâs more forgiving than Mawi or Gerupuk. The wave here is clean, mellow, and super fun, especially for intermediate surfers. Itâs not too heavy, not too softâjust the right kind of wave to work on your style, turns, and flow.
Itâs also a great spot when the other famous breaks are too crowded or too big. On a good day, Serangan delivers smooth, long rides. And the best part? Youâll often have it almost to yourself.
đ§ââď¸ The Vibe â Quiet and Peaceful
If you ask me what makes Serangan special, itâs not just the waveâitâs the peace. This beach doesnât have many warungs or surf shops around. No noise. No crowds. Just a few locals, maybe a fisherman, and sometimes other surfers who know the spot.
Itâs a perfect place to surf in the morning, then chill on the sand and just listen to the wind and waves.
đ Tips from a Local
Here are a few things I always tell my friends about Serangan:
- đ Best time to surf: Morning or late afternoon, especially during dry season
- 𩴠Reef booties recommended if youâre not used to reef entry
- đ§ Bring your own water and snacksâthere arenât many shops
- 𤍠Keep it clean and low-keyâletâs respect the beach and keep the good vibes going
Serangan Beach is for surfers who love quiet lineups, clean waves, and natural surroundings. It might not be as famous as other spots in Lombok, but once you surf here, youâll get it. This place has heart.
