About this audio guide
This guide to Mahana Point on Nusa Ceningan, near Lembongan in Bali, explains why a deep-ocean swell that barely stirs the rest of the island turns into head-high, thumping waves here. It covers the cliffside warung and its two jump platforms, and the reef break surfers call one of the island's most consistent, most demanding lefts. Locals' rule: paddle out at dead low tide, close to the new or full moon, when the reef is most exposed.
