A fifteen-minute drive from the western Java resort town of Pelabutan Ratu, Cimaja is a highly exposed right-hand point that breaks over a rock shelf. It takes all manner of west, southwest and south swells. Predominant winds, however, are on-shore, making early mornings and late afternoons the call. Cimaja has been described as a "high performance" wave, with various bowls, sections and the occasional barrel. It isn't the barreling perfection travelers come to Indonesia for, but rather a fun, rippable wave just a couple of hours from Jakarta.

The area hosts weekenders from the Jakarta metropolis, so there are plenty of touristy and local restaurants.

Western Java is a cultural center in Asia. Nearby is both the chaotic Indonesian capital Jakarta, as well as the Ujung Kulon National Park that boasts the rare Javanese rhino, tigers, panthers and deer.
