About Kuta Lombok
Kuta Lombok encompasses a variety of accessible reef and beach breaks situated on the southern coastline of Lombok, Indonesia. The central bay features a highly variable seafloor composed of compacted sand patches interspersed with flat, dead coral reefs. This mixed bathymetry effectively filters deep-water south-westerly groundswells, diffracting the raw oceanic energy into more manageable, peaky A-frames that break left and right. An easterly offshore trade wind is necessary to maintain clean surface conditions. Because the waves generally spill rather than jacking violently, and break over a relatively forgiving mix of deep reef and sand, the area is highly suited for beginner and intermediate surfers. It provides workable walls for practising carving manoeuvres and cutbacks. While the outer reefs handle larger swells, the inner bay provides an excellent, low-consequence transitionary environment for surfers moving from soft beach breaks to navigating structural reef dynamics.

How often is this page updated?
Current conditions refresh every 6 hours when the cron runs. Hourly data updates every 30 minutes. The 7-day forecast, luck factor, and packing notes are all pre-computed at the same time.
What is the luck factor?
We compare the 7-day forecast to the last 5 years of marine data for the same week at Kuta Lombok. The delta tells you whether conditions are shaping up better, worse, or about the same as a typical late April.
How is 'best session' picked?
We score each day of the 7-day forecast using the same algorithm as the leaderboard, and highlight the highest scorer.
Where does the data come from?
Open-Meteo's Marine API (swell height, period, water temperature) and Weather API (wind and conditions).
Does the score capture local knowledge?
Honestly, no. Every break has tide windows, swell directions and reef contours that a global model cannot see. Treat the score as a starting point, then check a local cam.
