The best season is from April to October. It's better not to come from November to March but you can find epic surf at the south coast or in Central Sumbawa (Lakey peak). Tides are important and you should have a tide table.

Yoyos - Surfed yoyos around 8 ft was pumping, perfect swell direction, one of the best surfs i've ever had. Fun but heavy at that size, watch out for the clean up sets.

Get to sumbawa - Hello there!
I'm going to bali in the final july, and I was wondering what's the best way to go to sumbawa and the cheapest. Cheers from Portugal.
