Cimaja
Cimaja is a reliable left point break on the south coast of West Java, offering consistent waves and a welcoming local surf community. As the most accessible quality surf spot from Jakarta (about 3-4 hours drive), it serves as a gateway to Indonesian surf culture for many visiting surfers. The wave works on a range of SW swells and produces fun, workable walls suitable for all skill levels. The village atmosphere is genuine and laid-back.
