Ekas Surfing

If you want surf in a remote location with no crowds, both safe and difficult waves, and at least 10 different breaks, then the Planet is ideal. With our 15 m surf boat, motor bikes or car, you can easily get to Inside and Outside Ekas, the nearby "Southern Reefs", or the many other breaks in Lombok and West Sumbawa.

There are limited numbers staying at the property and the surfing tour boats don't come to the Bay. We are the only resort, so you won't get there to find many full losmen and all the breaks crowded. This means you feel like you own the break and you can't imagine how good this feels until you get there.

Your accommodation at Heaven on the Planet overlooks 4 good breaks at Inside Ekas. Just paddle out, so you don't need any transport. Or check out both Inside and Outside Ekas in our boat … the classic "Indo" surfing experience.

Inside Ekas is best known as a left and right hand peak (see the Indo Surfing Guide) which breaks in medium and large swells. The right is a high quality wave, particularly on low tide, suitable for advanced surfers. The left winds down the reef at high tide, a softer wave ideal for the less experienced surfer who wants a classic long ride. Both short and long boards are suitable on the left. The ride is longer at Ekas, but the left wave is like the well-known Grupuk peak, which has attracted many surfers from all over the world, particularly Japanese visitors.

Also in front of the property are Lombok's only beginner surfing waves. The left and right "sand bar" peak is ideal for learning to surf. We provide surfboards and professional surf lessons. Directly in front of the property, a classic wave winds down the reef on moderate swells making an easy left for long boarders or beginners.

Outside Ekas, a solid left break, is best on high tide in large swells when a very long, heavy wave peels over 400-500 m down the reef and barrels in sections. The square take-off jacks up into a thick lip, over deep reef. Outsides also works when the swell is smaller, particularly around mid tide … a bit peaky at times, but still fun.

The nearby "Southern Reefs" which are really good in the wet season, or early mornings before the wind comes up in the dry. These reefs face straight into the swell and so they break nearly all the time. Hollow left and right peaks break in small swells. In large swells, one newly undiscovered hollow right winds perfectly over 800 m down the reef at nearby Cape Ringgat. We're still learning about the district, so come and help explore.
