About This Spot
Tulamben is located on the northeast coast of Bali, Indonesia, facing west toward the Lombok Strait. The coastline borders open ocean with moderate depth gradient and visible rocky features near the shore. The spot receives light swell and extremely limited wind reliability at just 0.1%, making consistent sessions rare. Average wind speed of 4.7 knots is marginal for kitesurfing. When northerly winds do occur, they would provide side-shore conditions suitable for the west-facing coast. The warm tropical water (28.1°C) and shallow nearshore areas make this suitable for beginners when conditions align, though the extremely low wind reliability makes it an unreliable primary spot. The rocky nearshore features and limited fetch suggest this location is better suited as a secondary option or for other water sports. Kiters should expect long periods without rideable conditions and should verify current wind patterns before traveling.
Hazards & Safety
Very low wind reliability (0.1%) - spot rarely has suitable conditions
Small average wave height (0.84m) - limited swell exposure
Shallow water near shore - potential for running aground
Rocky outcrops visible in nearshore zone
Limited fetch distance - enclosed by land to the north
