Grupuk

Edit spot

About

getting more crowded year after year, but still perfect at early morning(glassy offshore conditions) or after noon (but onshore trade winds blowing hard)

Atmosphere:
nice atmosphere, nice gentle locals (same people carrying you there by boat), same cute japanese longboarder girl (sounds incredible, isn't it? )in the line up and super nasi goreng once you've come out of water....

Additional Info:
3 spots in this bay.Inside is a long crowded right, Outside is huge and powerful left and Tattoo Point is an A-Frame with long left and shorter right, not hollow but perfect for manouvers...boat cost 10 US $ for 6 people...

Location

Access

go to Grupuk fishing village in South Lombok and catch a boat from the shore.No hotel in Grupuk, so you' better sleep in Kuta Lombok and move to Grupuk by motorbike or taxi (5-7 min). Tip some kid to take care of your motorbike on Grupuk shore
