The breaks
The three kinds of break and the coast the camp knew
This page is a plain English record of material once published at this address by Jojo Lombok Surfventure, a surf camp in Kuta Lombok. It keeps the camp's own framing: the south coast near town, the kinds of wave found there, and the lessons the camp described for guests. It is independent of the camp and takes no part in running it.
Current booking belongs at the camp's live address, not here. What follows reports the camp's article on three kinds of break, drawn by the bottom under each wave, and the captioned south-coast figure that kept the camp's own order. Where the old page is silent, this record stays silent rather than inventing detail.
Three types of break, sorted by what the wave breaks over
The camp's blog article, dated 22 December 2022, sorted surf breaks by the ground beneath them rather than by glamour. Sand gives one kind of wave, a headland or jetty gives another, and coral or rock gives a third. The table beside this section keeps that article's two-column shape and its plain comparisons. The approach is simple enough for a new reader and strict enough to keep the old taxonomy intact.
A reader should treat the drawing on this page as a report, not a verdict. Its caption says the profiles follow the camp's article: shifting sand, a peeling point, and a steeper coral take-off. The drawing reports the article and does not grade any break, so no spot is named as better than another.
That limit matters because the old text linked safety and learning to the bottom below the wave. Sand was presented as softer, a point as orderly enough to form a queue, and reef as sharp underfoot. Those are the camp's claims, preserved here without turning them into advice for any reader.
A beach break moves with the sand under it
Over sand, the camp said, the peak is tied to a bottom that can shift after weather and tide. A channel or bank may shape the take-off for a while, then move, so a familiar corner can feel different on the next visit. The article used that changeability as the defining sign of a beach break.
Because the landing was described as softer than coral or rock, the camp's text placed early practice on sand. It did not promise easy conditions; it said beginners often use these waves since the bottom is less severe when a board or body goes down. That distinction is repeated in the table without becoming a recommendation.
The practical picture is one of constant small revision. A surfer checks where whitewater is standing up, where a bank has deepened, and where the shoulder is holding before choosing a take-off. In the camp's account, reading the beach mattered because the wave would not stay fixed by memory alone. That habit is the thread through the beach-break row.
A point break peels in one direction from one take-off
At a point, the article described a wave arriving at a headland or jetty and then unwrapping along the edge. The take-off sits in one place, the line runs one way, and the shape can hold for a long distance. That single track is what separates it from a wandering sand peak.
Order brings its own pressure in the camp's telling. When many surfers want the same predictable lane, the text says a person may have to wait in line rather than simply drift to a new bank. The wave repeats along the point, but access still narrows near the first workable section. Predictability shapes behaviour before skill enters the picture.
The figure of the three bottoms shows this middle profile as a peel, with the crest bending around a fixed edge instead of closing over loose sand. It is a neutral drawing, kept beside the article's terms. Nothing in it ranks a point above a beach or turns the queue into a rule for visitors.
A reef break repeats itself and asks more of a surfer
Coral or rock makes the third kind in the camp's scheme. The article called the reef wave steeper and more powerful, and said it tends to arrive the same way almost every time because the bottom does not wander like sand. Predictability, in that account, comes with a harder floor.
The warning attached to that consistency was blunt: the surface below is sharp. The camp did not dress the reef as scenery; it presented coral and rock as a real hazard under a clean face. That is why the table pairs the repeating wave with a note about what waits underneath.
Read beside the other two profiles, the reef profile completes the article's simple map of cause and effect. Sand moves, a point directs, and reef fixes the wave while raising the cost of a fall. The record keeps those contrasts as published and leaves personal choices to the reader and the camp's live address. The tone stays descriptive throughout.
| Beach break | A wave breaking over sand. The article says the shifting sand moves the break, that the same spot can differ from one day to the next, and that the softer bottom is why beginners often practise here |
|---|---|
| Point break | A wave that peels along a headland or a jetty, long and well formed, with one take-off point and one direction, so the article says a surfer may have to wait in line |
| Reef break | A wave breaking over coral or rock, described as steeper and more powerful and as coming the same way almost every time, with the article warning that the bottom below is sharp |
| Desert Point | Named first, at the south-west tip |
|---|---|
| Serangan | Named second, east of Desert Point |
| Selong Belanak | Named third, described by the camp as an easy beginner beach break |
| Mawi | Named fourth |
| Areguling | Named fifth |
| Kuta | Named sixth, in the area the camp calls the centre of tourism |
| Seger | Named seventh |
| Tanjung Aan | Named eighth |
| Gerupuk | Named ninth, described by the camp as never-ending |
| Ekas | Named tenth and last, at the south-east |
Questions this record answers
How many kinds of break does the camp describe?
Three. The camp's article sorts waves by the bottom under them: sand for a beach break, a headland or jetty for a point break, and coral or rock for a reef break. The restored table keeps those three rows and does not add another category.
Which kind suits a beginner, according to the camp?
The camp's article points a beginner toward sand, saying the softer bottom is why learners often practise at a beach break. It still describes changing peaks, so this page reports that as the camp's explanation rather than personal instruction or a promise of safe conditions.
How does a point break differ from a beach break?
A point break has one take-off and one direction as the wave peels along a headland or jetty, sometimes with a line of waiting surfers. A beach break sits over shifting sand, so the same place can change from day to day and the peak may move.
Which breaks does the camp name on the south coast?
The south-coast figure preserves the camp's own west-to-east order and says each marker is one break named in the camp's FAQ. This restored record does not carry the individual labels, so it keeps the sequence and refuses to invent names the camp page did not supply here.
This restored page was reviewed on 22.09.2026. It remains an independent record of Jojo Lombok Surfventure, with no part in the camp and no booking function; current arrangements belong at the camp's live address.
how the record was assembled
Both CDX passes were run on 22 September 2026 and returned 865 captures of this address from 20240802 to 20260616, of which 302 are HTML pages. The heaviest capture of the home page, the packages page, the FAQ page, the terms page and the camp's own article on surf breaks were opened and read whole, and the camp's live address was opened the same day. No figure in any currency, no contact detail and no guest review is reproduced in this record. Every statement in this record was checked against the camp's own published material on 22.09.2026.
