Lombok is one of Indonesia’s hidden gems for surfers, offering uncrowded breaks, consistent waves, and stunning beaches. For those looking to fully immerse themselves in surfing, a surf camp is the perfect way to spend your time on the island. Whether you’re a beginner, intermediate, or advanced surfer, a surf camp in Lombok combines expert instruction, guided surf trips, and a chance to fully engage with the island’s rich surf culture.
At LMBK Surf House, we offer tailored surf camps that provide everything from daily surf lessons to local cultural experiences. If you’re wondering what a surf camp schedule in Lombok looks like and what you can expect during your stay, this guide will walk you through it.
1. Daily Surf Camp Schedule in Lombok
A typical day at a surf camp revolves around catching waves and soaking up the island’s natural beauty. At LMBK Surf House, each day is designed to give you the best possible surfing experience while balancing time for relaxation, exploration, and enjoying the local culture.
Morning Surf Sessions
Your day typically starts early — the best surf conditions often occur in the morning, thanks to more glassy conditions and the potential for offshore winds. After breakfast at LMBK Surf House, you’ll head out with your surf instructor to one of Lombok’s many surf breaks. Whether it’s the beginner-friendly waves at Selong Belanak or the more advanced conditions at Mawi, Serangan, Ekas or Gerupuk, our instructors will take you to the best spot based on your skill level and the day’s conditions.
Our small group sizes (or 1:2 instructor-to-student ratio in private lessons) ensure that you get plenty of personal attention. Your morning surf session typically lasts for two to three hours, giving you plenty of time to practice and refine your skills.
Midday Break and Lunch
After your morning session, you’ll head back to the surf camp to rest and refuel. We do a surf debrief after every session, so that your guides can share valuable feedback, refine some of your goals and make board size adjustments where needed.
After your debrief you are free to relax by the pool, take a nap, go for a walk or if you are famished, which you might be after a good surf session, we are excited to be sharing our new lunch menu at LMBK Surf House. We offer fresh, healthy meals to keep your energy up for the afternoon. Classic dishes like Benny’s Fish and Chips, Chicken Ceasar and a Pesto Spaghetti, or more modern dishes like our Re-fuel bowl. We have something for everyone. Check out our menu here.
Three times a week we do a double session of surfing. In this case, once your group has had a chance to eat and have a little rest, we head out for another session.
At LMBK Surf House, we are always open for surf theory discussions, our managers and instructors can cover everything from wave selection and reading the ocean to safety tips and surf etiquette. Our surf manager, Jesse, is always up to discuss your technique issues and to dive as deep as you want to go into the endlessly nuanced journey of your surf experience. This helps deepen your understanding of surfing, especially for beginners.
