Playgrounds (Nusa Lembongan) Access
  Boat from Benoa Harbour of Sanur to Nusa Lembongan. Reef 100m from Bounty Cruises and Bali Hai Cruises pontoons.

If staying at the places in the cliff overlooking the break, it's a short (5 min) paddle out to this spot. Follow the rope leading out, it makes it easier to guage the channel! Paddle around the right, if you try to paddle acroos the left and then around, your arms will give up on you before you start.

Additional Surfing Infos
 High tide allows right to break through about 80 metres. As tide drops, right sections and left starts to barrel. If you're not quite up to the hidings the other spots on Nusa Lembongan can dish out, check out this spot.

Can surf this spot mid to low, but be warned, although considered a beginners wave for lembonga, it's still a classic indo break-sharp, shallow and fast for the intermediate. It's a beautiful spot and well worth surfing even f you can handle shippys and lacerations, the wall is well worth a punt!
  Overview
  Atmosphere Pretty freaky sitting in the lineup with huge catamarans and pontoons only 100 metres away. Great atmosphere.
  General Love it. The day photos were taken was 5 foot at playgrounds, and about 10 foot at Shipwrecks (fairly serious). Daily Tourists from Bali all over the place snorkelling etc. between 10am and 3pm. They are however well out of the way and never near the line up. watch out for rookie australians thinking they own the line up. Do't be afraid to give a loud shout if you have priority but make sure you take the wave, other's willbe pissed if you leave it after a call.

Shipwrecks and Playgrounds
Ive never surfed reef before i know playgrounds is good for me but should i try shipwrecks on a smaller day.. my uncle has lent me his villa there for my 21st bday so im expecting some reef rash pretty soon .. should i try the other brakes or just stick to playgrounds

I was there in September, and Playgrounds was a dream. With high tide early in the morning we were out at first light each day, waves were around 4-6 foot and only about 10 surfers out. Apart from one bloody-great big rock that I kept ending up near, Playgrounds cured my reef-fear. But how good are the little local kids on their boards the size of a postage stamp? They steal every wave!

mid may 07 takes the cake
Sure playgrounds can be soft and fun. However it can get to be a handful too. Its very tide dependent. May 07 it got a bit out of control - with the odd right through (well you couldnt surf it) from lacerations through to playgrounds. Mushroom Bay looked like Impossibles and as the tide dropped the pontoons in the channel got smashed . . .The day after it was surfable and with the tide starting to drain, a guy paddled over from a boat. He said his skipper was calling it the biggest surf he'd seen during 20 years sailing in nearby waters.
