Desert Point

Lombok, Indonesia
⚠️Shallow🪸Sharp reef🦈Sharks👥Crowded🏝️Remote

Desert Point is one of the longest, most perfect barrel rides on Earth—and one of the most fickle. When SW swells combine with low tide and offshore winds, this Lombok left produces 300-meter tubes with individual barrels lasting 20+ seconds. But it's a demanding wave: the reef is razor-sharp, the timing must be precise (high tide = flat), and getting it perfect is rare. When it turns on, Desert Point delivers the stuff of dreams—mechanical perfection over shallow coral, far from the Bali crowds.
