Kuta Surf Guide
Lombok's surf hub, if you will, is here at Kuta, primarily serving as a base for day forays to other surf spots along the south coast. Yet Kuta is quite pretty and comfortable, and the surf out front can be surprisingly playful and refreshing. At the bay's east end is the right, a decent-length hot-dog wave breaking into the channel; to the west is the lefthander, also breaking into the reef channel, but it's not as good as the right, being a bit mushy and sectiony.
