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.

scary wave and sharks

was there recently and was forced out of water by a smallish (5-6ft) shark. had to climb up the bloody cliff.

local boat guys always deny there are sharks when i ask...

spooky, scary wave. can be 2-3ft and then suddenly 6ft and monstering. i wouldn't surf this place alone or in anything but a very small swell. if its 3ft on the main lembongan breaks there's a strong chance of 10ft plus clean up sets here. no kidding.

saw it breaking last year in a big swell (shipwrecks 6-8ft) - wild, out of control, possibly 20ft (yes) waves coming through. unsurfable but impressive to see.

there are sharks in bali for sure
surfed ceningan early may with just two mates and got chased from water by two large brown sharks, not dolphins. Locals in cave informed us in that a surfer was bitten on the leg there recently. The deep water is a well known tiger shark breeding ground. A shame we saw them only 5 mins into the surf as it was pumping and empty and twice as big as shipwrecks.

I liked it!
I was there last year. I spent a while travelling the islands to the east of Bali. On my way out and on the way back to bali I went to this spot. After surfing some of the best waves indo had to offer, I actually had some of my most fun surfs at this place. Yep, a few will catch you out, they come out of no where; it can be a bit shallow as well, especially the end section (it went dry on me a couple of times). It did seem to work best at a lower tide, however it was alright as it came up little. There seemed to be two sections/seperate waves when it was a bit smaller; they conected beter with a bit more size. It does pick up loads more swell, when ship wrecks was about 2ft, I got Ceningan about 3ft with the odd 4+ft set (head and a half)! Try and get it early in the day, the trade winds effected it a bit as morning go's on. In addition, you do have to watch the sea weed nets (only if caught right in side). This is a swell magnet, fun, can get a steep, uncrouded (unless a boat trip turns up) and I recomend a look!
