Lacerations is more challenging than It is a fast right hand barrel that gets hollower as the tide drops. But do not surf the barrel too far at low tide, because it breaks on nothing but sharp shallow reef. It is best surfed at low tide at 2 to 5 feet.
Playgrounds is a fun and mellow wave compared to Shipwrecks or It has a long left hand wave with open walls, and a short right hand wave that sometimes barrels. It is a short paddle from the beach. It is best surfed at low tide at 2 to 5 feet.
Nusa Ceningan
Nusa Ceningan is the smallest of the three islands, located between Nusa Lembongan and Nusa Penida. It is connected to Nusa Lembongan by a suspension bridge.
When there are no waves at Nusa Lembongan, take a short boat ride and surf Nusa Ceningan. Ceningans is a fun left hand reef break on the island. It attracts a lot of swell and is the best place to surf on small swells. It breaks underneath a cliffside temple and can only be reached by boat. On big swells, be careful of the strong currents and closeout waves. Locals have also spotted sharks in these waters. It is best surfed mid to high tide at 3 to 6 feet.
