Air Guling ( Goleng ) Surfing Information
 The
simply glorious beaches of Seger and Tanjung
Aan are easily accessible from Kuta and, at a push,
walkable, though bicycles are a good idea. Seger
is closest to Kuta (1km east) and is now the
location of the luxury Novotel. To reach Tanjung
Aan (5km), follow the road east out of the
resort and take the first sealed turning to the
right. There are actually two perfect white-sand
beaches here, Aan to the west and Pedau to the east,
separated by an outcrop. The only facilities are a
few drinks stalls.
 Along
the coast west of Kuta you can explore half a
dozen or so of the prettiest beaches on the island,
but you'll need your own transport. A couple of
kilometres out of Kuta you'll pass the "MTM 64"
sign; just under 1km west of this, look out for a
dirt track heading off to the coast. After 2km it
reaches the coastal village of Air Goleng.
The beach here is about 400m long and the seaweed
beds in the shallows are clearly visible.
This is Indonesia's "
Other Kuta ", and the coincidence of it's name is
appropriate because it is reminiscent - especially
in term of basic infrastructure - of what Bali's
Kuta was like some 20 years ago.
It's also a place that
like to ride South Lombok's many wave option.
Just west of Kuta bay is a
small bay called Air Guleng ( Air Guling ), ( a name
which literally means " Rolling Waters" ).
 AIR
GULING - Requires a 2 foot wave to be surfable. Best
at 4-6 feet. 2 breaks - a hollow shifty left, best
at mid to Hightide a nice right with a fast inside
section, best at low to Midtide Has reasonable
protection from the wind. Transport: 20 minutes
drive and a 20 minute walk or just 20 minutes by
boat from Kuta Beach.
Tumbling into this pretty
place is a good but short and hollow right that
should be surfed from mid high tides. Be prepared
for a scenic hike, however, because road access here
is very difficult if not almost impossible.
30
mim boat access from Kuta. Short, mid to high
tide lefts and a fast inside barrel on the low tide
rights.
