Gili Air, the closest of the Gili Islands to Lombok, is a charming surf spot that offers a mix of relaxation and surf adventure. Known for its laid-back vibe, Gili Air is perfect for surfers who enjoy a slower pace and a
beautiful island setting. The surf here is best on a big swell during the wet season when the northern winds are more consistent.
The main break at Gili Air is a right-hand reef break located off the southeast coast of the island. The wave can get hollow and fast on bigger days, providing thrilling rides for those looking to push their
limits. On smaller days, it’s more mellow and forgiving, ideal for those honing their skills. Kelly Slater mentions it as one of his favorite waves!
While the surf isn’t as consistent as some of Lombok’s more famous breaks, the clear, warm waters and stunning coral reefs more than make up for it.
