THE WAVES
Fun Waves
West Java Surf Camp has perfect waves for beginner surfers. No stress, no anxiety,
just paddle out in the tropical warm water and have a bunch of fun!
Challenging Waves
Whether you are an expert, beginner, or somewhere in
between, we will provide you with waves that are up to your ability, and
usually just a little beyond.
One Palm Point
This point reef break, marked by a single sentinel palm, is one ofIndonesia's left-hand
wonders. Waves here peel perfectly from outside to inside, barreling
the whole way over a shallow bottom that inspires paranoia but creates
record-time tube rides. Indeed this is not a place for timid or
inexperienced wave riders. One Palm Point works best on a good-sized
swell, a southeasterly and offshore wind, and at a more medium than low
tide. It is ridiculously shallow, here, so wear any protective gear you
can find.
The
wave that put Panaitan on the map. One of the world's longest (up to
800 yards), most perfect, most dangerous shallow left-hand barrels reels
across a reef point. You need a sturdy board to get into the wave as
early as possible, then set a rail and go for maximum speed. Mid tide
seems best and the wave starts to work at just 3ft of south to southwest
swell.
Napalms
Probably the most frequently surfed wave at Panaitan, and with good reason. The
left-hand reef here delivers barrels with mechanical perfection, and
they are more make able than One Palm thanks to a defined channel.
Take-offs are straight-forward, then a lined-up wall leads to a ful?-on
barrel before tapering off into deep water. Higher tides are best if you
want to avoid the shallow second section. This is a fun barreling
left-hander located at Inside Panaitan. There are also other soft, fun,
and relaxing waves here. A lot of waves here close out, or race on past
you, but the ones you
do mange to snatch are a memorable rush of seapower. This spot is best
ridden at a lower tide when the waves are less jumpy.
Pussy
At
the head of the inner bay are some very well lined up, fun long lefts.
Generally a good warm-up spot for Panaitan proper, the lefts need a good
south swell but work at any tide, although low is often best.
Insight Right
Opposite
the lefts, on the west side of the bay is a right-hand reef break that
works on wet season west breezes and any swell direction. A solid south
swell at low tide will get this alternative spot firing. Best at lower
to mid tides, but varying with swell size.
Illusion
the
lefts Right-hand reef break with approachable take-off and variable
barrel and wall sections. Just seaward and up-shore from Apocalypse is
yet another right, Illusions. Illusions, a right hand point break, that
is not as reckless as the left at One Palm Point, but just as perfect.
Apocalypse
Extremely
square right-hand barrel; pull in or don't go at all . The tasty
Apocalypse is a great surprise because it doesn't look like much as you
approach it from behind. Paddle into its lineup from the boat and you
will discover a feisty wave that peaks, walls, plumes, and fires. The
water is quite deep at the take-off point, but a combination of funneled
wave speeds, strong offshore winds and a receptive and stationary reef
causes incoming?swells to rise fast, hover before hollowing out and then
break defiantly. A lot of waves here close out, or race on past you,
but the ones you do mange to snatch are a memorable rush of sea power.
This spot is best ridden at a lower tide when the waves are less jumpy

A FEW MORE WAVES WHICH I KEEP SECRET JUST FOR THE GUESTS.
Of
course we can- not promise good waves 'as this is left to the man
above'
however my-self and my experienced crew can usually find a wave
that
suits everyone.
As a
local guide we visits many unnamed locations on mainland Java for your
surfing, as well the fishing and snorkeling are awesome, there are many
places
of interest to check out, grassing ground for wildlife and jungle, it
is a really beautiful place.
