West Java’s closest major reef zone to Jakarta — a right-hand point over boulder and rock in front of the Cimaja beach strip near Cisolok / Pelabuhan Ratu. The Point offers workable walls and occasional bowls for intermediates; Indicators next bay steps up to a faster, more powerful right. Nearby Sunset (Karang Hawu) and other sandier options soften the reef day. Expect weekend crowds from the capital.
The Point suits confident intermediates and improving surfers with local coaching on smaller days. Indicators is advanced-only when Cimaja has size. Not a first-timer reef — use softer nearby beach options for first sessions.
Shallow rocks and barnacles on entry/exit — especially low tide, Sea urchins on the reef, Pollution risk after heavy rain, Crowded Point lineup on Jakarta weekends and holidays, Indicators steps up quickly when The Point has size. Respect the pecking order and give way to locals who surf here daily. See our surf etiquette guide →
