This region of Sumbawa can get surf all year round. The peak swell period is from April to September but October to March can also offer perfect clean conditions with light winds. There are 5 world class surfing waves situated in the same bay directly in front of Aman Gati Hotel.
LAKEY PEAK
Voted 33 in the Top Waves of the World. An intense hollow right & left-hand A frame, with the left generally being longer, the right can fire on the proper swell direction. Lakey Peak has a guaranteed backdoor for those with the balls to pull in. Best at 5-8 foot that holds all sizes and goes off at mid-tides, and the left can provide some deep barrels to be surfed at low tides if the swell is big enough.
LAKEY PIPE
is across from The peak a popular wave amongst the body boarders and No-mans which is suitable for the more extreme surfer. A short, but very hollow barrel that often pinches shut. Better from mid to high tide. The beachey only breaks in the lagoon with the big swells and is more suitable for the less experienced surfer.
LAKEY LEFT NUNGAS
Across the channel from the peak. With right size swell and direction this normally sectiony wave can line up and provide deep barrels.
LAKEY RIGHT
A few hundred meters down the beach. A short bowling right-hander that breaks into a deep-water dent in the reef. Some fun barrels. Holds only to about 8 foot.
Periscopes Voted 44 in Top Waves in the World. A fun righthand wave at the eastern end of a long reef that sticks way out into the bay, Periscopes can offer a high, tight barrel over a relatively safe reef platform, and a clean exit into a channel. Only a short paddle out and better at high tides with glassy or N offshore winds. Blown out by dry season trades. Holds only to about 8 foot. About a mile walk up the beach from the surf camp.
