Panaitan Island is part of the Ujung Kulon National Park located on the south western tip of Java, Indonesia. The island is rich in surf and hosts several waves including the perfect left-hand point break One Palm. All levels of surfing are catered for depending on wind and tidal conditions from thick, fast, hollow rights to long, playful lefts. The National Park is one of World Heritage Sites and is known for its unspoilt natural beauty along with great fishing, diving, hiking & wildlife.
The first fine break you might see as you approach south Panaitan's surfing bay is a legendary left point break known the world over as One Palm Point. This point break, marked by a single sentinel palm, is one of Indonesia's lefthand wonders. Waves here peel perfectly from outside to inside, barrelling the whole way over a shallow bottom that inspires paranoia but creates record-time tube rides. Indeed, this is not a place for timid or inexperienced waveriders. One Palm Point works best on a good-sized swell, a southeasterly and offshore wind, and at a more medium than low tide. It is ridiculously shallow here, so wear any protective gear you can find. Weary of long and lefthand tube rides? Then head for the opposite side of this three-kilometer wide bay where you will find both a big bombora right on the bay's outside arc-headland, plus, just inside the bay's entrance, a right hand point break, Panaitan Rights, that is not as reckless as the left at One Palm Point, but sometimes perfect.Once contacting the Surfing Panaitan team, we can discuss date options, prices and generally help you decide upon what will be the best option for you.
