The wave
Sejorong is a bay south of Maluk in west Sumbawa, with a left off the reef at one corner and beach-break peaks along the sand. There's usually nobody there.
The left has walls over reef and sometimes a hollow section. It's best at 4-8ft on the dry-season trades, with mid tide making the inside easier. On smaller days the beach peaks work.
It's 15 minutes from Maluk by scooter, and there's one warung with noodles and coconuts. Bring water and everything else you need. It's a good choice for a quieter day between sessions at Super Suck or Scar Reef.
