Sumbawa for intermediate

[Francis1986]

Hi guys I'm currently in Ekas in Lombok , with my girlfriend. We were suppose to go to Arugam bay for June July in Sri lanka but heard it is super crowded. So now we're thinking about maybe changing travel plans.
We love Ekas here because theyre is inside which is fine for my gf, and me since the right is hollower and left smooth, and the secret (no more lol) right hander is really fun when small swell. So good spot.
We're thinking about maybe visiting sumbawa and stay longer in Ekas.
The thing is, the only information I find about sumbawa is thru my stormrider surf guide and it seems to be solely expert super tubes spots.
Is there some intermediate (I can do small cutbacks, locks most takeoffs etc ..) spots in sumbawa?
Is there smaller waves that we don't just talk about because it's not 'world lass supersuck'?
What about yoyos?
Thanks!!

Let’s do the the Sumbawa description... firstly land transport is challenging and get away from,the Lakey Peak area. You are into serious surf zones , Scar reef, yo-yos periscopes and super sucks are usually accessed by boat cruises, frothing good surfers razor reefs and the need for big swell to activate them means the risk of injury is very real, and transport of the body out is arduous.
Lakey peak offers a skill raising challenge but the ver increasing crowds don’t. Transport will get you to,other breaks nearby , don’t include Lakey Pipe. A better guide for where to go is Peter Neely’s “ Indo Lingo and Surf Guide” a genuine Indonesian Surf guide, a genuine lowdown of what rocks for all levels, Währungsfonds guides and beaches included. My recommendation I still use it after decades of hitting Indo myself.

You could also try Gerupuk on Lombok similar to Ekas with a little more variety of breaks, even Kuta Lombok offers some good intermediate waves with the trek, but slightly more crowds. The Java coast offers some options too, beyond G Land heading west. Check the guide I mentioned.

Thank you for your nice and complete answer!
We've been in the kuta lombok area for 3 weeks before coming here and it was great. Favorite spot when working (almost never due to winds) was Segar reef.
Been to gerupuk, mawun right and segar.
I love when I can paddle.
I'll check for java since sumbawa seems to be out of my league.
