Cimaja Surf Spot Guide — Java, Indonesia

Cimaja is a renowned surf spot on Java’s southwest coast near Pelabuhan Ratu, popular for its reliable right-hand reef break over a rocky bottom. The waves are fast, punchy, and can get hollow, making the spot ideal for intermediate to advanced surfers. Access to the break requires a paddle-out from the beach, with caution advised for submerged rocks and sea urchins, particularly at low tide. Cimaja works best during the dry season from May to October, when consistent SW swells combine with NE winds and mid to high tides for optimal conditions. The spot attracts a lively local surf scene and can get crowded on weekends and holidays. The nearby village offers ample accommodation and easy access to the break amidst scenic surroundings.

Fast right peeling over Cimaja's rocky bottom, hollow at mid to high tide.

◉ Surf forecast
