About This Spot
Jalla is located on the northwest-facing coast of Lombok, Indonesia, featuring a sheltered bay with turquoise shallow waters. The spot is characterized by a wide sandy beach backed by agricultural land and scattered coastal vegetation. The enclosed bay configuration provides natural protection but limits wind exposure and wave development. Water conditions are typically flat to small, with average waves around 1.2m. Best conditions occur with northeast winds that provide side-shore flow parallel to the coast. The spot is best suited for beginner to early intermediate kiters seeking flat-water progression in a protected environment. Extremely low wind reliability (0%) suggests this location may be marginal for consistent kitesurfing and functions better as a training spot during occasional favorable wind windows. Shallow areas require awareness of sandbars and gradual bottom contours. The bay setting means limited fetch creates weak wave development even in stronger winds. Local knowledge of seasonal wind patterns is essential for planning sessions.
Hazards & Safety
Shallow water areas and sandbars
Rocky outcrops visible along shoreline
Limited fetch distance due to enclosed bay
Possible strong currents near headlands
