About This Spot
Kaliantan Kite Camp sits on Lombok's southern coast, facing west toward the Indian Ocean with an open-ocean fetch. The spot features a sandy beach break with visible river meanders creating fresh water influence and tidal dynamics. Rocky outcrops are present both in the water and along the beach, requiring navigation awareness. The area experiences monsoon-driven winds with very low statistical reliability (1.1%), making consistency unpredictable. Average wind speeds of 5 knots are marginal for kitesurfing, suggesting sessions occur during optimal windows rather than reliably throughout the day. Water temperatures around 27°C and modest 1.22m average wave heights indicate this is suitable for beginners and intermediate kiters seeking a relaxed environment with manageable conditions. The shallow nearshore waters and rock hazards demand careful route planning and local knowledge. Best conditions align with northerly winds providing side-shore orientation. This spot functions best during seasonal wind patterns rather than year-round, making trip timing critical for successful sessions.
