G-Land (Grajagan) Surf Season
Java, Indonesia · part of the G-Land (Grajagan) spot guide
G-Land runs on the Indian Ocean dry season, April through October and peaking June through September, with August the most consistent — when the southeast trades are offshore and the Roaring Forties fire long-period southwest groundswell. The wet season, November through March, is patchy.
Where the swell comes from
Deep Roaring Forties lows across the southern Indian Ocean send the long-period southwest groundswell; the reef amplifies those long-period pulses into its famous walls.

The tour returns
The Championship Tour came back to G-Land after decades, confirming the reef still delivers world-class walls on dry-season southwest groundswell.
