SWELLRADAR is requesting a verified marine run for Gili T Surfspot.
Spot intelligence.
The existing Gili T marker represents the southern-island reef surf, not a new beach break. Selected smaller-wave beginner sections do not provide independent learner clearance across this shallow, variable reef. Intermediate is a conservative minimum recommendation gate, not permission in heavy surf. Watch the actual section, water cover and entry with local advice before paddling out.

Reviewed 23 Oct 2026 · not observation-validated
Published sources reviewed by SWELLRADAR, not validation against measured breaking waves. Qualitative swell references are not surveyed takeoff bearings or full acceptance windows; wind-from evidence is independent and unresolved disagreements disable directional wind scoring and its opposite-swell fallback. The inherited generic 0.6–3.0 m offshore-model ranking band remains unchanged and unvalidated, not a measured local working range, learner-safe range or wave-face conversion. Original approximate place markers and location sources remain; explicit six-kilometre sea requests do not survey reefs, sandbars, channels, currents, access or provider-snapped cells. Surf Indonesia describes a right reef with SSW swell, NW wind and high/rising water; LMBK's own guide agrees on fast coral-reef rights and southerly/SW swell but specifies SE wind and mid/high water. Their seasonal descriptions and placement differ: Surf Indonesia places its wave on the southwestern tip, while LMBK identifies southeastern Secrets near the harbour and the retained marker. These references identify the general southern reef, not a surveyed takeoff: no pin is moved and no Secrets/Bongkas subpeak boundaries are invented. Wind scoring is disabled rather than selecting one contradictory axis. Greater water cover is a reef caution, not proof of a normalized tide optimum or safe clearance; tide bonuses, preferred windows and adaptive fallback remain off. No crowd/season percentages, hard swell activation threshold, rescue coverage or operator availability is adopted.
- Surf Indonesia · original Gili Trawangan guide
Right coral reef, Intermediate description, pitching takeoff and urchin/low-water cautions; SSW swell, NW wind and high/rising tide are reported, not measured optima
- LMBK Surf House · own Gili Trawangan guide
Operator describes the southern right reef, sharp coral, fast hollow sections and intermediate/advanced suitability; its SE wind and dry-season emphasis conflict with the general guide, so no universal axis or season promise is inferred

Character
01Gili T Surfspot is defined by right · fast reef walls and hollow sections over shallow coral reef. The shape can change with swell angle, period and the active section, so the live score should always be paired with a visual check from shore.
Best setup
02S–SW · qualitative wrapping-swell reference swell, conflicting guide references · check locally and reef-depth dependent · unverified scoring form the profile baseline. SWELLRADAR retains 0.6–3.0 m as an offshore-model ranking band, not a measured local surf limit or a breaking-wave prediction.
Lineup read
03Choose a peak that matches your experience and reassess it as tide and crowd change. Pay particular attention to shallow sharp coral, fast pitching takeoffs, sea urchins. Local signs and advice always take priority.
