Ombak Tujuh, meaning 'Seven Waves,' is a quality left reef break in the remote Ujung Kulon area of West Java. The wave breaks in a pristine setting near one of Indonesia's most important national parks, home to the critically endangered Javan rhinoceros. Access requires significant travel from Jakarta but rewards with uncrowded lineups and quality waves in an untouched tropical environment.
