About Cimaja
Cimaja est la vague la plus connue de Java occidental — un long point break gauche qui offre aux surfeurs intermédiaires beaucoup de surface à exploiter. La vague s'enroule autour du point et peut offrir des sessions bien au-delà de ce que la plupart des spots de Java proposent, récompensant les surfeurs capables de lier des manœuvres à travers plusieurs sections. Elle gère une gamme de tailles de houle et est un centre naturel pour la communauté locale de surf. Avec des houles constantes venant de l'océan Indien, Cimaja est une destination fiable tout au long de la saison sèche.
Local knowledge
Le point est bordé de rochers volcaniques tranchants et de sections de récif éparpillées — une chute à marée basse peut entraîner une éraflure désagréable ou pire, donc des chaussons sont à considérer. Un fort courant latéral longe le point et peut vous éloigner rapidement de la zone de départ, surtout par houles plus grosses ; les nageurs inexpérimentés doivent faire attention à ne pas dériver vers l'intérieur plus rocheux. Des oursins se cachent dans les crevasses le long des rochers d'entrée, donc traîner les pieds est une mauvaise idée — avancez délibérément.
Cimaja se trouve juste à côté de la route côtière principale de Pelabuhan Ratu (Jalan Raya Cimaja) — cherchez la rangée de warungs et de magasins de surf près du point, qui servent de repères faciles ; un stationnement limité est disponible sur le bord de la route et des ojeks sont nombreux depuis la ville de Pelabuhan Ratu, à environ 10 km à l'est. L'entrée se fait directement depuis les rochers à l'extrémité du point à marée mi-haute, ou via une courte étendue de sable juste au sud du point lors des jours plus petits ; sortez de la même manière, en chronométrant votre sortie entre les séries pour éviter d'être poussé sur les rochers.
Un shortboard polyvalent dans la gamme de 6'2" à 6'6" gère la majorité des conditions ici ; lors des jours plus petits et plus mous, un fish ou un mid-length vous aidera à générer de la vitesse à travers les sections plus lentes. Lorsque une houle solide du sud ou du sud-ouest pousse la vague au-dessus de 6 pieds, optez pour quelque chose avec un peu plus de volume et de drive pour gérer les murs plus longs et plus rapides.
moderate — be polite, wait your turn.

Surfing in Java
Full Java surf guide →Java is Indonesia's most populous and culturally dense island, yet for surfers it remains one of the archipelago's great escapes. Overshadowed by Bali to the east and the Mentawai boats to the west, Java's long, exposed south coast quietly serves up world-class waves with a fraction of the crowds.
✈️Getting there
Most international surfers fly into Bali (Denpasar/DPS) or Jakarta (CGK). For G-Land, the classic route is from Bali: drive west to Gilimanuk, take the short ferry across to Ketapang/Banyuwangi in East Java, then continue overland and by boat into Alas Purwo National Park. Many surfers simply book a transfer or surf-camp package from Bali, which can run as a long road-and-ferry day or a faster speedboat charter across the strait.
🛵Getting around
Java is huge and its south-coast surf zones are spread far apart, so there's no single hub. Scooters are cheap and easy to rent in beach towns like Batu Karas and Pangandaran and are perfect for short hops to local breaks — but Javanese traffic and long-haul roads can be intense for the inexperienced.
🌤️Climate & season
Java has a tropical climate with two clear seasons. The dry season runs roughly May to September and is prime surf time — consistent Indian Ocean groundswell, lighter and more favourable winds, and the cleaner conditions that make G-Land fire. This is when the south coast is at its best.
