Tanjung Aan

Tanjung Aan, Kuta Lombok, Indonesia-8.918° 116.323°
Levels 6-7

A right point break over live coral at the eastern end of the Tanjung Aan bay, near Kuta Lombok. Wannasurf rates it a regional classic for experienced surfers: hollow, fast and powerful, very consistent, and barrelling at any size. It works on south-west through south-east swell from 1-1.5m up to 3m+, with northerly winds; high tide is the window, because the reef gets very shallow from mid to low.
