Conditions
Modelled swell, wind, tide, and a seven-day outlook. This is a forecast, not a live observation at the reef.
A legendary left-hand reef point along the eastern shore of Grajagan Bay inside Alas Purwo National Park — a surf zone longer than a kilometre, not a single peak. Sections run Kongs → Money Trees → Launching Pads → Speedies, with secondary options at Chickens, 20/20s, and Tiger Tracks. Camp-based, remote, and built for confident reef surfers.
Expert and advanced only. Kongs is the most approachable outer section for strong intermediates on the right day; Speedies is shallow, fast, and responsible for most serious reef injuries. Not a beginner destination.
Board & level fit
Longboard · medium confidence
Only Kongs can be mellow enough on rare smaller days.
Mid Length · medium confidence
Kongs can work in smaller surf; not the whole point.
Shortboard · high confidence
Fast, hollow sections are a classic shortboard or step-up proposition.
Intermediate · medium confidence
Kongs is a gentler entry point.
Sections range from mellow Kongs to expert Speedies and Chickens.
Advanced · high confidence
The overall point demands advanced reef experience.
Expert · high confidence
Heavy sections are expert-only.
This is evidence-led discovery guidance, not a safety rating. Swell, tide, wind, reef depth, and section choice can change the fit.

Respect the pecking order and give way to locals who surf here daily. See our surf etiquette guide →
