Grajagan, Java, Indonesia
The set-up at G-land is nothing short of a surfer’s tropical fantasy. A dense jungle setting, teaming with wildlife and some comfy, but not too flashy, surf camps in-front of a long arching point holding multiple barrelling reefbreaks.
Grajagan is a long, fast left hand barrel, often with an offshore breeze and always surfed in boardies. There are at least four sections to G-land with a variety of waves. The outside Kongs, is a swell magnet for those rare under head high days. It has fun walling waves and a little deeper water. Further down the main G-land glory begins with Money Trees. A long walled, almond shaped barrel, this is the picture perfect wave that made Grajagan famous. The further down you go the faster it gets. Enter Speedies, the super-fast and ever accelerating, hollow, top to bottom tube. The final section at G-land is 20/20s and is not so demanding and can be a playful intermediate wave or a fun day when it is too big (6 times overhead) for the outer reefs.
G-land is very consistent. Days under 3ft are practically unheard of. The swell window is open south through to west, and May to October is best time to visit as the offshore trade winds are more reliable.
Grajagan Bay (were G-land is) is on the eastern tip of the Island of Java. Getting there can be a wild overland adventure or a fast, straightforward, boat transfer from nearby Bali.
