Surfing Trip In Ekas Bay

Ekas Bay
Ekas bay is the next bay east of Gerupuk bay and the largest bay in Lombok, with cliffs overlooking it from both sides. From Gerupuk, it takes about 45min to the small fishing village Awang. Head towards Kuta and turn right when the road forks, follow this road past Sereneng and you’ll reach the village. From here it takes another 30min with an outrigger across the bay where the breaks, »Ekas Inside« and »Ekas Outside« are situated offering perfect long rides in an awesome surrounding. It is also possible to take a boat from Gerupuk. There are two resorts on the east of Ekas bay called “Heaven on the Planet” and »Ocean Heaven«, both New Zealand owned.

1. Ekas Inside
Ekas Inside located further inside the bay, is a fun walling peak, with a fast right and a long left. It needs a big swell and south east winds to work, with lower tides being the best for the right and higher tides for the left. With the right conditions, it is a well worth the trip.

2. Ekas Outside
Ekas Outside is a left-hander about 1km south of Ekas Inside, and due to its exposed position gets more swell. When it’s big it offers huge drops, heavy long walls and long hold downs. Sharks have been seen here, but with no reports of attacks. The currents here can be challenging.
