Outside Grupuk is a surf spot located on the southern coast of Lombok. It's known for its unique setup and can be a fun place to catch some waves. Despite its impressive look, the surfing experience can be variable, making it a mixed bag depending on the conditions. The lively atmosphere often draws a crowd, particularly when the waves are working well.

The wave at Outside Grupuk typically breaks to the right over live coral, making it ideal for those who are comfortable riding rights. It can handle swell sizes around 3 feet (0.9 meters) and favors swells coming from the southwest and southeast. While it breaks consistently on any south swell, be cautious of southern hemi winds, as they can easily mess up the conditions. On smaller days, it’s great for beginners to improve their skills, while intermediates may find it challenging when the swell picks up. Mid to high tides are the best times to surf here for optimal conditions.

Given its setup, Outside Grupuk can get crowded, especially when the waves are good. If you’re looking for some space to maneuver, a solid understanding of tide and wind conditions will help you find the best times to paddle out. Northwest winds are preferable, as they tend to keep the surf cleaner and more enjoyable. Keep an eye on conditions, and you might just catch a fun session.
