The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again.
We’re starting slow, but the second week is where the real juice is. The water is right around 82°F, which is a touch warmer than average for this time of year, feels nice.
This is Samudra. Friday, 24 July, the morning has a 7ft swell from the SSE, short period of 9 seconds, with a light cross-shore wind. The energy is moderate at 1040. It’s just okay. The afternoon gets worse with stronger wind. Saturday is similar, a bit smaller and not clean. Sunday is a write-off.
Monday morning, 27 July, is a diamond in the rough. The swell drops to 3ft from the SSE, but the wind is glassy. Glassy! That’s perfect. The energy is weak at 376, but the surface will be like a mirror. Great for a small board. Tuesday morning is also glassy with a tiny 2ft swell from the SSW, but the period is a very long 16 seconds. That’s a groundswell. Small, but clean.
Now, the real deal. From Friday, 31 July, through Monday, 3 August, we are on. Friday morning: 5ft from the SSW, very long 17-second period, glassy wind. The energy is strong at 1421. This is a high-quality groundswell. Saturday, 1 August, is the best of the run: 6ft at 18 seconds from the SSW, glassy all morning, strong energy at 1684. This is the standout. It’s powerful, clean, and the long period means longer gaps between sets. Sunday morning, 2 August, is 5ft at 15 seconds, but the wind is onshore, so it’s a bit messy. Monday afternoon, 3 August, bounces back with 6ft from the SSW, a 16-second period, and glassy conditions. Another top session.
From 6 August, it gets too big. Thursday, 6 August, has 7ft, but by Friday, 7 August, it’s a massive 12ft from the SSW with a 19-second period. The energy is extreme at 9593. That’s too big for this spot. It’s a kite surfer’s dream, not a paddle surfer’s. Saturday, 8 August, stays at 10ft.
So, the first week is a slow grind. The real magic is Saturday morning, 1 August. Clean, powerful, long-period swell from the SSW, glassy. That’s the one. After that, it’s too big for comfort.
Rusty.

Information about the Samudra Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Samudra provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Samudra can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Samudra surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Samudra) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Samudra may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
Samudra is 2 km (1 miles) from the city of Pelabuhanratu. If you plan a holiday in West Java, look for hotels and other accommodation in Pelabuhanratu. Pelabuhanratu has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
