Ceningan is a surf spot located off the southwest tip of the lesser-known Ceningan Island. It’s a pretty quiet place without too many people around, making it a decent getaway for surfers looking to escape the busier locations. The waves here are mostly left-handers, which can be fun to ride if you’re looking for that kind of wave. Accessing the spot usually requires a boat, but there are some steep paths down the cliff if you're adventurous. Just keep in mind, it’s not always crowded, but the local vibe can be a bit watchful.

The waves at Ceningan work best with a southwest swell. They can handle swell sizes of around 3ft (about 1 meter) and break over live coral, so some caution is advised. The spot is suitable for intermediate surfers, and it offers a nice steep pocket with rolling walls that can be quite fun. With the right conditions, the waves can become powerful and challenging, especially when the swell picks up. Low and mid tide are generally better for riding here, though you can sometimes paddle out at high tide too. Just keep an eye on the currents and changing conditions.

While surfing, remember that the predominant wind direction is from the east, which can help clean up the waves a bit. Just be prepared for it to get a little messy with strong currents at times. Locals have mentioned that it can feel a bit "sharky," so it’s something to keep in mind while you're out there. Overall, Ceningan can be a decent spot when conditions align, especially if you're looking for a bit of adventure in the water without the usual crowds.
