Tanjung A'an

Tanjung A’an, Lombok, Indonesia is a scenic, relatively mellow surf spot on the southern coast of Lombok, best known for its beautiful bay, clear water, and easygoing atmosphere.

Surf overview

• Wave type: Mostly a reef break with peaks that can work for both rights and lefts depending on the sand/reef setup and swell direction.
• Best for: Beginners to intermediate surfers when conditions are small to moderate. On bigger swells it can become more serious and punchy.
• Consistency: Can be fun but a bit inconsistent, as it relies on the right swell angle and tide.
• Wave quality: Usually offers clean, user-friendly waves rather than heavy barrels.
• Crowd: Generally less crowded than some of Lombok’s better-known surf spots, though it can get busier on good days.

Conditions

• Best swell: South and southwest swells tend to work well.
• Best tide: Often better on a mid to higher tide, since low tide can make the reef a little shallow and less forgiving.
• Wind: Early mornings usually offer the cleanest conditions before the trade winds pick up.
