G-LAND SURFING/ EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW (SURFING BEACH PART 2)

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.

CROWDS

Indonesia Bali Surfing & G-land Surfing is one of the most popular surf destinations in the world, and can be extremely crowded, especially during the high season and in the more popular regions. The waves in Bali Surfing are typically very crowded, as are the marquee spots on most of the nearby islands (such as Lombok, Sumbawa and G-land Surfing). Most quality waves in the country have surf camps or charter boats servicing them, which tend to pack in the surfers (although it is possible to score relatively empty sessions if your boat captain has good local knowledge). That being said, the country is so large and has so much surfable coastline that it is very possible for the feral surfer to enjoy waves alone, if you are willing to do some searching and endure a bit of hardship.

WATER TEMP BY SEASON

The water in G-land Surfing Indonesia is quite warm, with little change in temps between the wet and dry seasons. Surfers typically need little more than board shorts/bikinis, and some sun protection up top. Bali Surfingi and the nearby islands range from 80-84 F (27-29 C), while the Mentawais are consistently around 80 F (27 C). G-land Surfing ranges from 77-86 degrees F (25-30 C), while West Timor ranges from 80-88 F (27-31 C).

GETTING TO THE SURF

Access to the surf ranges from easy drive-up-and-paddle-out spots to boat-access-only reef passes. Many waves have Surfcamp G-land and resorts built right in front of them, making this one of the easiest surf zones in the world, in terms of logistics.
