Mawi
Mawi is a powerful A-frame reef break on Lombok's south coast that produces fast lefts and rights depending on the swell direction and tide. The wave breaks over a shallow reef shelf with considerable power, creating hollow sections that test even experienced surfers. Located about an hour from Kuta Lombok, the break sits in a beautiful crescent bay with dramatic coastal scenery.
