Panaitan (Apocalypse)

West Java / Sunda Strait, Indonesia
🪸Sharp reef🚶Difficult access🏝️Remote

Apocalypse is an epic tubing left reef break on Panaitan Island in the Sunda Strait, accessible only by boat charter from the Java coast. When a solid SW swell hits this remote island, the wave produces unforgettable barrel rides over shallow reef in a pristine tropical setting. The isolation and boat-access-only nature of the break means uncrowded sessions in one of Indonesia's wildest coastal environments, with the Ujung Kulon National Park as the stunning backdrop.
