Volcanos (Tanjung Jati)

Volcanos is a reef-coral surfing spot on the inside of the bay near Tanjung Jati (often misspelled as Tanjung Jati). It’s described as an A-frame that breaks both ways, with a mellow takeoff that walls up and peels. The bottom is sharp reef and volcanic rocks, so wave knowledge and careful line choice matter. It tends to work best from small to moderate swell sizes, and multiple accounts describe it as hollow/fun with good wave quality. For form, the guidance consistently points to mid tide—often specifically a rising mid-tide—to avoid the shallowest parts of the reef. Depending on swell size and direction, the spot can present as a longer right-hand peel (around 60m) or as shorter, faster peaky rides. Wind conditions are most favorable during the dry season, when southeast trade winds dominate. Offshore/cross-onshore behavior is reported to be clean when East or Northeast winds prevail, supporting more usable surf rather than a blown-out surface. Safety is the central concern: the reef and sharp rocks are the main hazards, and currents can become significant as swell builds. There’s no lifeguard coverage reported, and rescue availability is limited, so plan to surf within your ability, maintain reef awareness, and consider protective footwear such as booties.
