Forecast for Tuesday 1 September
Intermediate : Nothing to surf today. Rest those arms.
Today's score by level (at the day's best, out of 100)
Lembongan's signature wave: a right that barrels off the takeoff then peels a rippable wall for 80 m. Waist-high for the competent, double-overhead for experts only.
Surfable all year. Autumn (Sep-Nov) is the best season: powerful swells, water still mild, less crowd.
For experts only. Powerful waves, strong currents or technical bottom. Ask locally first.
Direct access from the beach, but mind the rocky bottom. Wetsuit + booties recommended, do not surf at low tide.
Wear an appropriate wetsuit. Scout the currents before you paddle out. Respect the locals and right-of-way. Check weather and tides.
Shipwrecks usually works best around mid-tide. The tide shapes the sandbanks and the depth over the reef, so check the day's tide times before your session.
Shipwrecks is rather recommended for advanced surfers. If you're a beginner, prefer a surf school, a small swell and a suitable tide, or look for a more sheltered nearby spot.
The ideal wind at Shipwrecks comes broadly from South-East: it's offshore, which helps shape and hold the waves. A strong onshore wind generally degrades conditions.
Around Shipwrecks, you can also check conditions at Lacerations, Razors, Playgrounds. Compare the scores, wind and swell direction before choosing where to surf.
