Lacerations is one of the most aptly named waves in the world - this right-hand reef break over razor-sharp coral has left its mark on many surfers.
A quality right breaks over extremely sharp coral, producing barrel rides of 3+ seconds on good swells. The wave is fast and hollow, with the reef barely submerged at optimal surfing tides. The sharpness of the coral means any wipeout results in cuts.
Dry season (April-September) with solid S-SW swells. Mid to high tide. SE offshore winds. Needs 4ft+ for the barrel sections.
Boat from Lembongan or paddle from the south coast of the island.
