Tropical West Sumbawa

Tropical West Sumbawa features a west-facing beach break along Indonesia's coast with consistent sand and pebble shoreline. The spot sits between productive agricultural land and open ocean, with wave exposure dependent on seasonal swells. Average conditions show modest 1.63m waves with very low wind reliability at 3.7 knots average. The narrow beach corridor and proximity to farmland create variable water conditions. North winds (0°) would provide ideal side-shore conditions, though the reported 0% wind reliability suggests this direction rarely materializes. Water temperatures average 27.8°C year-round. This location suits beginner to early-intermediate kiters seeking warm-water practice in low-wind tropical conditions. Primary limitations include unpredictable wind patterns, small average wave size, and variable water quality. The spot works best during seasonal wind shifts when northerly or southerly winds develop. Kiters should expect light-wind sessions requiring larger kite sizes and should be aware of nearshore hazards including shallow areas and potential reef formations visible in satellite imagery.
