Are there other spots to surf on Nusa Ceningan?
Sometimes you can find small lines of sets rippling through the channel between Nusa Ceningan and Nusa Lembongan. It is best timed on a rising low tide with the incoming push on a stand-up paddleboard. Even if you don’t score a few rolling rides the channel is a beautiful spot to get out on a paddleboard and explore.
Where can I hire a surfboard?
Old surfboards short and long are available for hire at Mahana Point Restuarant. There are also a few surf schools and board rental shops on Nusa Lembongan which you can contact before your trip to organise yourself a board. That way you know you’re sorted.
Try Eddy at Nusa Lembongan Surfboard and Sup hire or Monkey Surfing.
