At nearly 50,000 square miles, Java is a big island with a ton of surf potential. Numerous camps have sprung up on Java, the most famous of those being the camps that front G-land Surfing. But there are also plenty opportunities for the feral explorer to strike out on his own, discover a world-class setup, and jungle-Surfcamp G-land in front of it for months on end without seeing another surfer.
TYPES OF SURF BREAKS
The majority of the waves in Indonesia break over coral reefs including at G-land Surfing, although there are some volcanic reefs and beach breaks as well. Waves range from user-friendly/ G-land Surfing high-performance to dredging barrels.
LEVEL OF DIFFICULTY
While the waves in Indonesia range from beginner to expert, the majority of the best-known waves are in the intermediate+ category, with powerful barrels and sharp, shallow reefs. But, the waves in G-land Surfing range from intermediate to expert, because the wave at intermediate is the second highest in the world.
SEASON AND SWELL INFO
The dry season in G-land Surfing runs from May through September, and enjoys consistent E/SE trade winds and frequent south swells. The wet season, which extends from October through April, sees more light/variable wind conditions, and less frequent south swells (although the waves are still relatively consistent).
