Mawi surfing point
REVIEWS
Amazing waves, but terrible territorial and aggressive energy from the locals. They will punch you or kick you out for no reason. Really sad because it's truly beautiful! I would say this happens when there's smaller swell and gets busier. Terrible bumpy ride with the scooter. I'd recommend getting there by boat from Selong

Best break in dry season but crowded. No beginner spot and not easy to access by bike (bumpy road that can be challenging after heavy rainfalls)

Cool spot! Super shallow so it throws up a steep wave but lots of injuries here. You also need to drive down a super bumpy, rocky off-road track to get there. Parking costs 10,000 per bike 😁

Steep waves, shallow reefs & strong currents. Not for beginners

Great surf spot Left and right with section that closes at the end. The reef is shallow. Allow 10 minutes or 15 minutes of really bumpy track before arriving. Make sure you have tires in good condition. The atmosphere is very nice.
