Lakey Peak is one of Indonesia's most reliable and photogenic waves—a perfectly symmetrical A-frame that splits into quality left and right options. Located on Sumbawa's south coast (east of Lombok), Lakey produces textbook peaks with hollow, barreling sections on both sides. The dry season brings offshore SE trades, and the setup has developed into a full-fledged surf destination with accommodations and restaurants lining the beach. Indonesian perfection without the Bali crowds.

Frequently Asked Questions

What kind of wave is Lakey Peak?

Lakey Peak is a reef break in Sumbawa, Indonesia, with peaks that run both left and right. It's on our list of the world's 100 best waves.

What's the story behind Lakey Peak?

Lakey Peak is one of the Indonesian beach communities that make a living directly from surfing.

What swell works best at Lakey Peak?

Lakey Peak picks up swell from the S round to the SW, and it's best when it's coming straight out of the SSW. That's a tight window, so it needs the swell direction to line up. It starts working at around 1m and handles up to about 3.5m, with the sweet spot around 2.1 to 2.9m. Period matters too: aim for 16s or longer, as anything under 10s tends to be weak. These are the numbers our scoring uses, so treat them as a guide rather than a promise.

What wind is offshore at Lakey Peak?

An E wind is dead offshore at Lakey Peak, and anything from the ENE round to the SE keeps it clean. The morning is typically the best window, roughly 6am to midday. Light winds from other directions can still be fine; strong offshores can make it hard to get into waves.

What tide is best at Lakey Peak?

Lakey Peak has a preferred tide range, roughly 0.8m to 2m on the local chart. Below 0.5m it gets dangerously shallow.

When is the best time of year to surf Lakey Peak?

The most reliable run of swell at Lakey Peak comes Apr to Sep. Dry season SE trades are offshore.

How cold is the water at Lakey Peak?

The water at Lakey Peak averages around 28°C, so boardshorts or a rashguard will do. It shifts a few degrees through the year, so check the season before you pack.

Is Lakey Peak good for beginners?

Not really. It's rated 7/10 for difficulty and suits experienced surfers. It gets busy (crowd 7/10), so mind the pecking order. Sharp reef. Very consistent and can get crowded with travelers.
