Lombok is one of Indonesia’s hidden gems for surfers — uncrowded breaks, consistent waves, and stunning beaches that still feel like a secret. 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.
The Quick Take: Life at a Lombok Surf Camp
- Up to 10 Surf Sessions Per Week: Three double-session days (Tuesday, Thursday, Sunday) plus single sessions every other day — with professional debriefs after every time in the water.
- Beyond the Waves: Progression is fueled by surf theory, photo and video analysis, and surf-skate sessions at Tribe Resto & Skatepark to refine balance and technique on land.
- Holistic Recovery: Monday’s Surf Recovery Yoga keeps your body performing all week, while Friday’s Surf Fit Class builds the strength and endurance to take it further.
- Drone Footage on Sunday: See your surfing from above — full arc, full wave, full picture. Sunday’s drone session and evening Video Analysis is unlike anything most surfers have ever experienced.
- Community and Culture: Two Family Dinners a week, sunset trips on Tuesday and Friday, and the kind of shared evenings that turn strangers into surf friends.
- All-Inclusive Ease: Accommodation, daily meals, professional gear, and SUV transport to breaks like Mawi, Gerupuk, and Selong Belanak — all taken care of.
1. Daily Surf Camp Schedule in Lombok
A typical day at LMBK revolves around catching waves and soaking up the island’s natural beauty — but it’s designed to give you more than just time in the water. Each day is shaped around the best conditions, your skill level, and a weekly rhythm that balances intensity with recovery.
Morning Surf Sessions
Your day typically starts early — the best surf conditions often occur in the morning, thanks to 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 — with a 1:2 instructor-to-student ratio in private lessons — ensure that you get plenty of personal attention. Your morning surf session typically lasts 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 for a debrief. We do a surf debrief after every session — your guides share real feedback, refine your goals, and make board adjustments where needed. Then you’re free. Relax by the pool, take a nap, explore the strip, or enjoy lunch from our menu at LMBK — classic dishes like Benny’s Fish and Chips or the Re-fuel Bowl, fresh and built to keep your energy up for the afternoon.
On double-session days, once your group has had a chance to eat and rest, we head out for the second session. Our surf manager Jesse is always available to talk technique, wave selection, and whatever aspect of your surfing you want to dig into.
2. A Week at LMBK Surf House: Day-by-Day Itinerary
Monday — Surf, Recovery Yoga & Surf Theory
Morning: Breakfast first, then out to the surf. Our guides handle everything — all you have to do is enjoy your breakfast and jump in the SUV. If guests are arriving today, the morning is yours to settle in and get comfortable.
Afternoon: Surf Recovery Yoga — one of the most underrated parts of the program. Guided by an instructor who understands exactly what surfing does to the body, this session targets hips, shoulders, and spine. You’ll finish loose, stretched, and genuinely surprised at how good you feel going into the rest of the week.
Evening: Surf Theory with your coaches at 6pm — wave selection, reading the ocean, duck dives, turtle rolls, bottom turns, top turns. Whatever is most relevant to your group, your coaches will cover it. New guests are especially encouraged to join. We also run the Surf Briefing for New Guests in the evening, so everyone is aligned on safety, skill levels, and the plan for the week ahead.
Tuesday — Double Surf with Photos & Sunset Trip
Morning: Start your day with a Surf + Photos session — our team brings the cameras so every ride is captured. There’s something about knowing the photos are being taken that quietly sharpens your focus.
Afternoon: Back in the water for your second surf session of the day. The afternoon sun, a slightly different swell angle, waves that feel different from the morning — it’s a completely fresh experience. On double-session days, we provide transport back from the break for anyone who would prefer to do just one session.
Evening: Wind down with a Sunset Trip to the vista point in town — golden hour over the ocean, a cold Bintang in hand, your surf crew around you. Lombok sunsets have a way of making everything feel exactly right.
Wednesday — Surf, Surf Skate & Family Dinner
Morning: Head out to one of Lombok’s ideal breaks — Inside Gerupuk, Selong Belanak, or wherever conditions take you — for a focused surf session tailored to your level.
Afternoon: Surf Skate at Tribe Resto & Skatepark. The connection between surf skating and actual surfing is real and well-documented: hip rotation, rail-to-rail transitions, generating speed and flow. On land, you can repeat movements dozens of times without waiting for a wave. It’s both useful and genuinely fun — music on, good vibe all round.
Evening: Family Dinner — a long table, plates full of food from Chef Tir and the team, and the kind of easy conversation that only happens among people who’ve just spent two days chasing waves together.
Thursday — Double Surf with Photos & Photo Analysis
Morning: Another Surf + Photos session — cameras out again, a fresh set of images to work with. Kick off early to catch the best waves.
Afternoon: Your second surf session of the day, about three hours after the first. Between sessions, there’s time to rest, grab lunch at a local warung, walk the beach, or simply do nothing. The best kind of nothing.
Evening: Photo Analysis — one of the most genuinely useful sessions of the week. Your surf coaches pull up the images and walk through them one by one: your stance, position on the wave, the moment you popped up, the line you took. Watching yourself surf, with expert commentary, accelerates progression faster than almost anything else. The table is alive with laughter, applause, and honest self-reflection.
Friday — Surf, Surf Fit Class & Sunset
Morning: Another tailored surf session, guided to the right break based on your skill level and the day’s conditions. By Friday, the water feels familiar — the gains from the week are starting to show.
Afternoon: Surf Fit Class — a targeted workout built specifically for surfers. Mobility, rotational strength, paddle endurance, and the kind of functional fitness that directly translates to better performance in the water. It’s challenging, it’s satisfying, and your paddling on Saturday will thank you for it.
Evening: Back to the Sunset Vista Point — just like Tuesday. The week is nearly done. The view doesn’t get old.
Saturday — Surf, Surf Skate & Family Dinner
Morning: Enjoy a surf session, working on the techniques you’ve been building throughout the week. Saturday sessions have an energy of their own — more confidence, more flow.
Afternoon: The second Surf Skate session of the week at Tribe Resto & Skatepark. By now the movements are clicking. What felt unfamiliar on Wednesday flows more naturally.
Evening: The second Family Dinner of the week. There are fewer introductions now — by Saturday, this feels less like dinner with strangers and more like dinner with friends. Stories are shared, waves are replayed, next trips are planned.
Sunday — Surf + Drone, Second Surf & Video Analysis
Morning: Sunday is the one that catches people off guard. You head out for your surf — and this time, there’s a drone in the air. Surf + Drone means you’re not just photographed from the beach: you’re filmed from above. The full arc of the wave, the line you took, where you stood on the board, how your arms moved — all of it, seen from an angle you’ve never seen before.
Afternoon: A second surf session to round out the week. All day in the water — a fitting end to everything you’ve built over the past seven days.
Evening: Video Analysis — and this is something else entirely. Watching drone footage of yourself surfing for the first time is one of those genuinely surprising moments. The coaches talk you through it, frame by frame. You’ll leave with a crystal-clear picture of what you’ve improved, what to work on next, and a short video clip you’ll probably watch more times than you’d like to admit.
Additional Flexibility
If you’re up for even more surfing on single-session days, we can arrange transport and provide access to our full quiver of boards. And if you’re feeling the burn on a double-session day, we’ll arrange a ride back from the break so you can tap out after one session without any pressure. Your week at LMBK is about keeping you engaged, improving your skills, and making sure you have an unforgettable time — while also finding space to breathe and enjoy the island.
3. What Makes LMBK Surf House Special
Personalized Instruction
We maintain a small instructor-to-student ratio, meaning you’ll always receive individual attention and feedback — whether you’re a beginner learning the basics or an advanced surfer working on specific techniques. Every session is tailored to your level and your goals.
Local Knowledge
Our instructors are certified local surfers with a deep, lifelong knowledge of Lombok’s breaks. They guide you to the best spots based on real-time conditions — not a pre-set itinerary — ensuring you’re always surfing in the right environment for your level.
Surf Theory and Practice
We take a comprehensive approach — practical water sessions paired with Monday evening Surf Theory, so you understand what you’re doing and why. Reading waves, choosing the right equipment, ocean safety, advanced manoeuvres: it all deepens your ability to keep improving long after the camp ends.
Surf Skate at Tribe Resto & Skatepark
Over the last decade, surf skating has proven to be an integral part of surf progression training. We offer it twice a week — Wednesday and Saturday — at the Tribe Resto and Skatepark facility just down the road. Whatever the waves are doing, we can always push your surfing forward.
