Surf Spot : Java Indonesia

The island of Java is a coastline of countless secret spots. While the waves of Grajagan, One Palm and Apocalypse of Panaitan Island are legendary breaks these days, the numerous breaks of Cimaja and Genteng are much less known and the high quality barrels of Central Java are only just starting to be talked about. The coastline of Java produces a wide variety of waves including short intense barrels, long winding ones, ones that are top to bottom when they’re double to triple head high as well as fun beachbreaks and playful points, both left and right.

There is a massive amount of surf in Java. And despite common assumptions, much of it is offshore in trade winds. But getting to it is another thing. Despite it being the most densely populated piece of land on the planet, there is still a massive amount of coastline that is not accessible by road. And even where there are roads and you know where you’re going, you can still spend 18 hours a day driving around from one break to the next. But this is something that’s not an issue for us aboard the very comfortable Lambo.
