Desert Point
A remote reef left on Lombok's south-west tip that wannasurf rates 'totally epic' and for experienced surfers only: very long (150-300m), hollow waves that almost always end in a barrel. It needs a real south-west swell to start working (1.5-2m and up), a south-east wind, and low tide; the inside section breaks over shallow reef.
