Periscope Point in Sumbawa is a sheltered reef break that only works once in a while. May-Oct (Dry Season) is the best time of year for waves. Offshore winds are from the east. Groundswells are more common than windswells and the best swell direction is from the south. There is a right hand reef break. When the surf is up, it can get quite busy in the water. Take care of rips and rocks.
