YouTubeWatch on YouTube CustomizeCustomize this spot

Shipwrecks is an epic right reef break off Nusa Lembongan, producing quality tubes in crystal-clear water just a short boat ride from mainland Bali. The wave breaks over a shallow coral reef and works best during the dry season (April-October) with SE trade winds providing offshore conditions. The stunning visibility of the water makes it a favourite for surf photographers, and the proximity to Bali's amenities makes it an accessible world-class wave.

Frequently Asked Questions

What tide is best at Shipwrecks?

The Shipwrecks profile favors mid tide, ideally between 0.5m and 1.5m on the local tide chart. Compare this preference with the forecast tide and local conditions before choosing a session.

What wind direction is offshore at Shipwrecks?

The Shipwrecks profile uses wind from SE (135°) as its preferred direction, with an offshore range of 105° to 165°. Wind speed matters too: light winds outside that range can still produce surfable conditions, while strong offshore winds can make takeoffs difficult.

What swell size and direction work best at Shipwrecks?

The Shipwrecks scoring profile favors swell from SSW (190° to 220°), a swell-height range of 1.2m to 2.4m, and a reference period of 14s. These are model inputs, not guaranteed breaking-wave heights or a promise that the surf will suit every ability.

When is the best time of year to surf Shipwrecks?

The main season at Shipwrecks is Apr-Oct. A secondary window runs Nov, Dec, Jan, Feb, Mar. Best Apr-Oct (dry season, SE trades offshore). Swells year-round but wet season brings onshore winds.

How do I get to Shipwrecks?

The spot profile lists DPS as a nearby airport. A boat transfer is also required. The profile estimates $15 USD; confirm the current price and departure point with an operator. Reach Nusa Lembongan by ferry/fast boat from Bali, then use local boat or reef access depending on tide.
