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, how to pick the right level, and what you can expect during your stay, this guide will walk you through it all.
Choosing the Right Surf Camp in Lombok: Beginner, Intermediate, or Advanced
One of the first things to consider when booking a surf camp in Lombok is your skill level. Lombok offers a wide variety of surf breaks, each suited to a different level of experience. At LMBK Surf House, we tailor lessons and guided sessions to your ability, so you’re always at the right spot for your comfort and skill level.
| Level | Recommended breaks | Focus |
| Beginner | Selong Belanak | Gentle, rolling waves and a soft sandy bottom. Instructors focus on paddling, popping up, and wave etiquette in a relaxed setting. |
| Intermediate | Inside Gerupuk, Don-Don’s | Consistent waves with more power than beginner breaks. Sessions target turns, turtle rolls, duck-diving, and reading the waves. |
| Advanced | Ekas Outside, Outside Gerupuk, Are Guling, Mawi, Serangan, Desert Point | World-class reef breaks for experienced surfers comfortable in powerful, reefy conditions. Local guides handle the safest entries and exits. |
Daily Surf Camp Schedule in Lombok
Breakfast is served every day from 7 to 10:30 AM, followed by your first surf session. Each day is shaped around the best conditions, your skill level, and a weekly rhythm that balances intensity with recovery, plus a Surf Briefing for New Guests every evening at 5 PM.
Morning Surf Sessions
After breakfast, you 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 take you to the best spot based on your skill level and the day’s conditions. With a maximum of 2 students per coach, your morning session gets plenty of personal attention.
Midday Break and Lunch
After your morning session, you head back to the surf camp. Relax by the pool, take a nap, or enjoy lunch from our menu, classic dishes like Benny’s Fish and Chips or the Re-fuel Bowl. On double-session days (Tuesday, Thursday, Sunday), once your group has eaten and rested, you head out for the second session.

What Makes LMBK Surf House Special
Personalized Instruction
We maintain a small instructor-to-student ratio (maximum 2 students per coach), so you always receive individual attention and feedback, whether you’re a beginner learning the basics or an advanced surfer refining specific techniques.
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 fixed itinerary.
Surf Theory and Practice
We pair practical water sessions with Monday evening Surf Theory: reading waves, choosing the right equipment, ocean safety, and advanced maneuvers.
Surf Skate at Tribe Resto and Skatepark
Surf skating is an integral part of surf progression training. We offer it twice a week, Wednesday and Saturday at 4:30 PM, to keep pushing your surfing forward even when the waves aren’t cooperating.
Why Lombok Is the Perfect Surf Camp Destination
Lombok might still be the lesser-known sibling to Bali, and that’s exactly what makes it such a gem. If you want to escape the crowds and surf pristine, less commercialized waves, Lombok should be your top pick. You’ll find breaks for every level, from the gentle beach breaks of Selong Belanak and Gerupuk to the powerful reef breaks of Mawi and Ekas Bay that fire during the dry season.
Lombok also offers a strong balance of surf and relaxation. Between sessions you can explore quiet beaches, hike to waterfalls, or take a multi-day trip to Mount Rinjani. Compared to other surf destinations, Lombok is also notably budget-friendly: accommodation, food, and gear rentals are generally more affordable, which makes it a strong choice for both short getaways and long-term stays.
What to Pack for Your Lombok Surf Camp
