In comparasion...about the same as the Goldie,but you can luck out.
June,july,august...super crowded at name spots
And the rest of the year is a gamble,maybee not as many Aussies,but a lot of surfers from the Northern hemisphere escaping there winter.
by far the most crowded...Ullus,bingin,kuta reef...
Padang padang,needs big swell and balls.
Dreamlands nice beach puss wave.
The other spots are more of a luck thing on both quality and crowds although canggu gets crowded very early too.
Nusa lembongan is fully pot luck,almost empty one day then crowded the next then seriously hundreds in the water when those damm charter boats drop by on there way to Lombook/Sumbawa,then they go and so do the crowds,at shippys anyway.
kinda sad...and its the old early morning story...but it doesnt work at bingin...with an instant crowd camped out on the cliff,there always people out even before light.
