Turtles is a surf spot located in West Java, right in front of a prawn factory. The wave breaks over a dead coral reef, making the take-off quite critical. Despite this, Turtles is known for its hooked walls and occasionally sucky barrel sections that can form at lower tides. While the spot can get busy at times due to its consistency, the surrounding area might not be the most appealing.

The optimal swell direction for Turtles is from the southwest, with additional swells coming from the south and west. It can handle swell sizes starting from 2ft (around 0.6 meters) up to larger swells. The waves predominantly break to the left, and the spot works best with northeast winds. Whether you're surfing during low, mid, or high tide, you'll find something to ride, but it's mainly suited for expert surfers due to the conditions and the need for precise paddling and take-offs.

If you're planning to surf here, be aware that it's important to kick out before you reach the sudden shutdown section by the rusty pipe pylons. It's not just about catching a wave; you need to keep in mind the environment and the potential crowds that come with Turtles' reputation as a consistent surf option.
