Ceningan Point Access
  Boat from Benoa Harbour (Bali) to Nusa Lembongan. Boat from there to Ceningan Island (30mins). Break is in View of the bridge connecting the 2 islands, on the southern side.

Can also take motorbike from lembongan and drive over the 'san francisco bridge' (you will laugh when you get there) onto peninda and then drive around. It's worth the ride even if no swell.

Additional Surfing Infos
 Deep Water break, throwing out a heap of power. A heap of current runs through here, sucking you towards the point. This place will really test how long you can hold your breath, and how strong your leggie is. If your leggie does break, kiss your board goodbye.

Jump in off the cliff, it's the easiest way.
  Overview
  Atmosphere This wave breaks out of VERY deep water, it's always bigger than any of the other spots on Lembongen and is worth checking if nowhere else is breaking. Watch out for sharks though - there's a breeding ground somewhere near. Locals will warn you (or refuse to take you out) if the shark problem is bad. Very powerful wave and it's eerie surfing it cos you're between 2 islands, with the waves, as I've already said, coming out of VERY deep water. Take care when surfing!!
  General Chances are a stray set will give you an absolute hiding.

Awesome wave, works best on a low to mid tide and when every other surf break on the island is not working. When it gets big there is a freefall for bodyboarders and surfers alike. Make sure you watch out for the seaweed farming metal stakes at the end of the wave.

Coming in, choose your path quite carefully. Nice beach for your lady to sit on and watch (take photos of you getting shacked). Feels really remote, but unlike the comments above suggest, not remote in a scary way. Cool spot.

super strong currents
surfed there a week ago. we saw it best on falling mid to low tide.
at some time during the falling tide, there are currents, pulling you out towars antarctica. if we wouldn't have had a boatman watching us, i don't know what would have happened: three experienced surfers in good shape and we could not make it against the current.
as soon as you get too far from the cliff and at the same time - looking towards the cliff - to far right, the current gets you.
after approx. 30 minutes, the current dies and it's all back to normal again.

nice surf though! take off can be jacking and a steep section directly after take off requieres racing real fast some times. i got pounded hard quite some times in shallow water, but no bad injuries. reef is not sharp.
