Sigar (Lombok - South)

Sigar is a challenging, quite exposed right-hand reef break in South Lombok (west edge of the Tanjung Aan bay area). It’s described as a swell-magnet that only comes to life when conditions are just right, so even within the wetter season you still need the right swell and wind/offshore setup. When it works, the wave is typically powerful and peeling, producing long walling rides. Surf guidance also emphasizes that the break needs very large south swells to activate properly and then holds size once breaking. Optimal swell directions are reported as south to southwest, with best performance tied to a high tide. Safety is the dominant consideration here: sharp coral reef/rocks are the primary hazards, and currents (including rip currents) can be strong—particularly during larger swells. The shallow reef makes dead low tide especially risky, so timing matters. Access is also difficult, with most surfers using a boat from the Tanjung Aan area to reach the break safely. For timing, one wind/swell pattern is commonly associated with the wet season (November through March), where offshore winds from the North or Northwest are reported more often. A surf spot guide also notes January as a best month and describes the overall seasonality as variable rather than consistently predictable.
