Reverse G-Land

East Java, Indonesia
🚶Difficult access

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 tide is best at Reverse G-Land?

The Reverse G-Land profile favors mid to high tide, ideally between 0.7m and 1.8m on the local tide chart. Compare this preference with the forecast tide and local conditions before choosing a session.

What wind direction is offshore at Reverse G-Land?

The Reverse G-Land profile uses wind from WNW (292°) as its preferred direction, with an offshore range of 262° to 322°. Wind speed matters too: light winds outside that range can still produce surfable conditions, while strong offshore winds can make takeoffs difficult.

The Reverse G-Land scoring profile favors swell from S (170° to 200°), a swell-height range of 1.2m to 3m, and a reference period of 14s. These are model inputs, not guaranteed breaking-wave heights or a promise that the surf will suit every ability.
