Batu Karas Point surf guide

Batu Karas Point is a chill surf spot located in a fishing village that gives off a friendly vibe. It offers surfable waves year-round, with the dry season bringing in more consistent and bigger swells. However, during the wet season, the winds are usually more favorable. The waves here are known for wrapping around Batu Karas Point and breaking in front of JavaCove Beach Hotel, providing a nice setting for surfers looking for a fun session.

The best conditions for surfing happen when the swell is coming from the south, southeast, or southwest. The spot handles swell sizes starting at around 2 feet (0.6 meters) and can deliver some longer rides, especially when the swell is up. The right-breaking waves peel nicely over a sand bottom and tend to be a good fit for beginners, especially when the conditions are smaller. Low to mid-tide is when the waves perform best, and with west winds blowing, they can create clean, fun surf. The wave can link through to a second section for rides that can reach up to 400 meters, making it appealing for those looking for a longer ride.

Batu Karas Point is often crowded, but there’s a generally friendly vibe among surfers, so you shouldn't feel too stressed about sharing the waves. It’s a great place for improvers to work on their skills, especially when the waves are a bit smaller. Just remember to keep an eye on the tides and wind for the best experience!
