About National Park
Facing, offshore wind, exposure, level and swell range are estimated.
The spot faces W (283°), so it takes swell from the W. The wind blows offshore from the E (103°). It is sheltered to the open swell. It suits beginners and up. It works in 4–15 ft of swell. The sea floor shelves steeply: 10 m deep about 150 m out (1 in 17). On a typical 5 ft, 11 s swell the waves here would break hollow. The sea is about 28°C in August, its coldest month (no wetsuit), and 30°C in April, its warmest (no wetsuit). No town nearby. Nearest place to stay we found: NIKKI Peucang Resort, Pandeglang, 10 km. Nearest beds: Tanjungjaya, 42 km (about 1h 15m by car). Nearest airport: Soekarno-Hatta International Airport (CGK), 159 km.
Water about 29°C: no wetsuit. Typical sea temperature for the time of year, not a forecast.
The score is the conditions only: the journey, the price and the partners never change it (how we score, how we earn).
