About Desert Point
Desert Point is a surf spot at the south-western tip of Lombok, in Indonesia, looking across the strait towards Bali. It is remote and dry, with little beside it but a rocky shore and a few simple places to stay, and surfers generally arrive by road or by boat. The wave breaks over a shallow reef and runs to the left as a surfer rides it towards the shore, and when it is working it is widely praised both for how long the ride is and for how the wave stands up, though it is also said to be quiet for long stretches. The best surf usually comes in the dry season, typically from around May to October, when swells arrive from the Indian Ocean. The reef is considered very shallow and the wave breaks a long way from help, so it is generally regarded as a spot for experienced surfers only.
