Pangandaran Beach surf guide

Pangandaran Beach is a popular surf destination located on the southern coast of Java, Indonesia. It features a long crescent of sand that offers various beachbreaks. The area faces predominantly south and southwest, making it a reliable spot for surfers looking to catch waves almost year-round. The beach draws in both local and visiting surfers, and it’s known for its laid-back vibe, making it a good place to spend a day in the water.

The waves at Pangandaran can handle swell sizes starting from 1 foot (0.3 meters) and up, mainly breaking over sand. You can find left and right waves here, which means there’s something for everyone. When the swell comes from the south or southwest, the beach gets consistent surf, providing a nice playground for both beginners and more experienced surfers. The optimal wind direction is from the east, and mid to high tide works best for getting decent waves. However, be aware that waves can close out with swells over 4 feet (1.2 meters), so it’s smart to keep an eye on the size.

If you're just starting out, Pangandaran is a solid spot for beginners because of the gentle slope of the beach and the way the waves break. As you move north along the beach towards the nature reserve, the waves generally get smaller and cleaner, creating a perfect learning environment. Also, the early mornings are often the best time to hit the water, especially close to the Airports section near the airstrip before the southeast trades come in and mess things up.

Wind certainty

Wind certainty tells you how much the weather models agree on the forecast.

  • High certainty: Models agree closely; forecast is reliable.
  • Medium certainty: Some disagreement; conditions may shift slightly.
  • Low certainty: Models diverge; treat forecast with caution.

We calculate this by comparing wind speed, gust and direction from multiple models (like GFS, ECMWF, Arome, and Harmonie) and seeing how closely they match. They are weighted, meaning that some models count more than others, depending on how good they are for a certain spot.

Forecast Cheat Sheet

Short on time? Focus on wave energy. It’s the best single metric to gauge how big and powerful the waves will be.

Click any table cell to jump to that forecast hour. The map will update with forecast arrows, so you can see if wind and swell direction are lining up.

Use the table sidebar to switch units for height and speed.

Log your surf sessions to compare forecasts with real sessions and sharpen future predictions.

On the map, click a metric label to bring that arrow to the front — handy when arrows overlap.

Models and Updates

Surfnerd blends multiple global and local wind and swell models using advanced interpolation and spatial techniques to create an "ensemble" forecast. Forecasts are refreshed hourly.

Surf Predictions

Our AI-driven algorithm scores surf quality, shown by green, orange, and gray dots. Each forecast hour is rated for wind, swell, and tide quality, then combined into an overall score. Here’s the scale:

Perfect
Good
Average
Bad or No Data

Session logs also feed the algorithm — the more you log, the smarter your forecasts get.

With Surfnerd, no more "you should have been here yesterday"
