Ujung Genteng Harbour

Ujung Genteng Harbour is a remote, exposed reef-and-point surf break on West Java, known for consistent surf and a heavy reef/point feel. The main feature is a long, left-hand point wave, with the break capable of producing a hollow, punchy character on the right swell and tide. The spot is strongly tide-dependent. High tide is the most important setup because the reef is very shallow and sharp at low tide, increasing the risk during entry/exit. On better days, the left can run long (with long point rides reported), while very large swells can make the break start to close out. Wind-wise, conditions are typically supported by Southeast trade winds and offshore flow when winds come in from the east/SE. This offshore tendency can improve wave cleanliness at the exposed reef. Seasonal reliability is generally strongest during the dry season, with May through October commonly highlighted, and August noted as particularly reliable. Safety is a priority at this location: rocks, sharp reef, and rusty pipes are specifically called out hazards. Formal rescue and lifeguards are not present, and the nearest major hospital is in Sukabumi, several hours away—so planning for self-sufficiency and careful water/entry timing is essential. When surf is up, it can also get busy in the water, so spacing and awareness are important.
