Batukaras

West Java, Indonesia
🪸Sharp reef👥Crowded

Batukaras is West Java's longboarding paradise—a long, mellow right-hand point break in a remote fishing village that has become a sanctuary for those seeking the simple surf life. The wave peels slowly along the bay, offering extended rides that reward smooth, flowing turns over aggressive maneuvers. The journey here is part of the appeal: winding roads through rice terraces to a village where the pace slows to match the leisurely waves. For those tired of competitive lineups and hollow slabs, Batukaras offers Indonesian surfing's gentle, soulful alternative.
