Reverse G-Land
Reverse G-Land is a quality long right reef/point break on the east coast of Java that effectively mirrors the famous G-Land left across the bay. The wave breaks along a similar reef structure but in the opposite direction, producing long rides with barrel sections and open walls. Difficult access and the requirement for off-season winds (November-April) keep this wave uncrowded and preserve its frontier character.

Frequently Asked Questions
What kind of wave is Reverse G-Land?
Reverse G-Land is a point break in East Java, Indonesia, that mostly breaks right.
What swell works best at Reverse G-Land?
Reverse G-Land picks up swell from the S round to the SSW, and it's best when it's coming straight out of the S. That's a tight window, so it needs the swell direction to line up. It starts working at around 1.2m and handles up to about 3m, with the sweet spot around 2 to 2.6m. Period matters too: aim for 14s or longer, as anything under 10s tends to be weak. These are the numbers our scoring uses, so treat them as a guide rather than a promise.
What wind is offshore at Reverse G-Land?
A WNW wind is dead offshore at Reverse G-Land, and anything from the W round to the NW keeps it clean. The morning is typically the best window, roughly 6am to midday. Light winds from other directions can still be fine; strong offshores can make it hard to get into waves.
What tide is best at Reverse G-Land?
Reverse G-Land is at its best around the mid to high tide, roughly 0.7m to 1.8m on the local chart.
When is the best time of year to surf Reverse G-Land?
The most reliable run of swell at Reverse G-Land comes Apr to Oct. There's a second window in Nov to Mar too. Best Apr-Oct (dry season, SE trades offshore). Swells year-round but wet season brings onshore winds.
How cold is the water at Reverse G-Land?
The water at Reverse G-Land averages around 28°C, so boardshorts or a rashguard will do. It shifts a few degrees through the year, so check the season before you pack.
