Cimaja is a surf spot tucked away between some rivermouths, located in West Java. It’s known for its rocky shelf that creates some solid swells. The vibe can get a bit hectic since many surfers from Jakarta come here, especially on good days, so expect it to be crowded. If you time your sessions right, though, you can still score some decent rides.

This spot shines when there’s a southwest swell in the water, mainly breaking from the south and west. You can find waves around 1 to 1.5 meters (3 to 5 feet) that work over an uneven reef. It mainly produces right-hand waves, making it ideal for regular footers. The best winds are from the north, and the waves can be surfed at different tide heights, including low, mid, and high, but the low tide barrels really catch the eye. It’s definitely more suited for intermediate surfers looking for a bit of challenge.

The area tends to get pretty packed, especially during peak surfing hours, so keep an eye on the crowd and plan your sessions accordingly. The outgoing tide is usually your best bet for catching waves here, so try to hit it at the right time for maximum fun.
