Lombok Strait is, overall, south-tending, although the strength and direction of the tidal streams are influenced by the
monsoon seasons. During the southeast monsoons, the
tidal flow tends south; during the northeast monsoons, the tidal flow tends north. In the area of the strait north of Nusa Penida, the pattern is relatively simple, with a flow, at peak tide, of about three-and-one-half knots. Tidal streams in Badung Strait are semi-diurnal, but the character of the stream is very complicated because its direction runs obliquely to the general south-to-north direction of Lombok Strait, and the channel has a curved shape. Based on a survey in 2009, there were about 1,419 hectares of coral sites with 66 percent covering the sites in 3 metres depth and 74 percent covered the sites in 10 metres depth. In December 2024, a colony of
Galaxea astreata, one of the largest
coral colonies in the world, was discovered, covering an area of approximately 4000 m2 with dimensions 34 m (width), 32 m (length) and 5.5 m (height). == In popular culture==
