Inside
Also known as Inside Right · Perigi / Prigi · Bumbang Bay
The bay's beginner classic — a slow, forgiving right that peels forever in the eastern corner.
Inside is the gentle, forgiving right that made Gerupuk a household name for learners — Lombok's most popular wave to surf your first green faces on, breaking in the eastern corner of the bay in front of Gili Perigi.
The wave
A slow, forgiving take-off into a long tapering right that peels a very long way — the kind of wave where you have time to smile. Gentle enough for first-timers, it still walls up for intermediates working on turns, and can even barrel when it's overhead.
Getting there by boat
Boat-access only — a 5–7 minute outrigger to the eastern corner of the bay, breaking in front of Gili Perigi island. The captain drops you in the channel and waits.
Crowds & hazards
Easily the busiest break in the bay — often packed with surf schools and learners, 100+ on a good morning. The seagrass-covered reef makes wipeouts soft, so the real hazard is other surfers and boat traffic. Paddle through to the left to find space.

Is it crowded?+
Very — it's the busiest break in the bay and one of the busiest on the island, mostly beginners and lessons. Dawn is your best shot at space.
