Ceningan Point
Edit SpotAbout
Chances are a stray set will give you an absolute hiding.Awesome wave, works best on a low to mid tide and when every other surf break on the island is not working. When it gets big there is a freefall for bodyboarders and surfers alike. Make sure you watch out for the seaweed farming metal stakes at the end of the wave.
Coming in, choose your path quite carefully. Nice beach for your lady to sit on and watch (take photos of you getting shacked). Feels really remote, but unlike the comments above suggest, not remote in a scary way. Cool spot.
Atmosphere:
This wave breaks out of VERY deep water, it's always bigger than any of the other spots on Lembongen and is worth checking if nowhere else is breaking. Watch out for sharks though - there's a breeding ground somewhere near. Locals will warn you (or refuse to take you out) if the shark problem is bad. Very powerful wave and it's eerie surfing it cos you're between 2 islands, with the waves, as I've already said, coming out of VERY deep water. Take care when surfing!!
Additional Info:
Deep Water break, throwing out a heap of power. A heap of current runs through here, sucking you towards the point. This place will really test how long you can hold your breath, and how strong your leggie is. If your leggie does break, kiss your board goodbye.
Jump in off the cliff, it's the easiest way.

Boat from Benoa Harbour (Bali) to Nusa Lembongan. Boat from there to Ceningan Island (30mins). Break is in View of the bridge connecting the 2 islands, on the southern side.
Can also take motorbike from lembongan and drive over the 'san francisco bridge' (you will laugh when you get there) onto peninda and then drive around. It's worth the ride even if no swell.
