Sumbawa splits into two surf zones that rarely mix. In the west, Maluk and Sekongkang are reached by ferry from Lombok's Kayangan port to Poto Tano, then a coastal drive, for a run of heavy, mostly advanced reef breaks: Scar Reef, Super Suck and Dirty Hippies among them, all needing real wave knowledge and a careful entry over shallow coral. Around Lakey, in the centre, Bima's airport puts surfers within a couple of hours of Lakey Peak's A-frame barrels and a gentler run of points and reef passes like Nungas and Cobblestones that suit intermediates as well as experts. Both zones share a dry season from May to October, when southwest groundswell lines up with cross shore to offshore trade winds and June to July brings the most consistent swell of the year. Outside those months, expect more wind and less shape. A scooter is the easiest way to cover the short distances between breaks once you have landed in either zone.
