Batu Karas
A right point over a sandy bottom with rock on Java's south coast. Wannasurf rates it a regional classic for all surfers, with fun rather than heavy power and rides that run long (150-300m), up to 300-500m on a good day. It works from 1-1.5m of south to east swell and holds big swell, with low to mid tide best on the push.
