Cimaja - surf spot statistics

Cimaja, Indonesia, offers consistent surf conditions year-round with a strong dominance of ground swell, which is ideal for clean, powerful waves. The best months for surfing are January, February, and March, when the swell is reliable (90-97% ground swell) and wind conditions are comparatively favorable, with good wind days occurring 41-53% of the time. During these months, the mean swell size hovers around 1.4m, providing manageable yet fun waves. April and December also see decent ground swell (91-99%) but have higher chances of bad winds (70-69% respectively), making them secondary options. From May through November, swell size increases slightly, peaking at 1.9m in August and September, but wind conditions deteriorate significantly, with bad winds dominating 81-96% of the time, making these months less ideal for surfing despite the larger swells. June stands out as having 100% ground swell but suffers from very poor wind conditions (83% bad winds). Overall, the early months of the year (January-March) provide the most balanced combination of quality swell and manageable winds, making them the prime time for surfers at Cimaja.

In March, Cimaja offers decent surf conditions with an average swell height of 1.4m and a solid period of 13.8s, ensuring well-formed, powerful waves. The swell is predominantly from the SSW and SW directions, with the most consistent waves in the 1-1.5m range (43.23% SSW) and a notable presence of 1.5-2m waves (18.92% SSW), providing good opportunities for intermediate to advanced surfers. Larger sets occasionally reach 2-2.5m, though they are less frequent. Wind conditions are favorable for surfing 41% of the time, with light to moderate speeds (0-20kph) from the SSW, SW, and W directions, which are typically offshore or cross-shore, helping to groom the waves. However, stronger WNW and NW winds (20-30kph+) can occasionally disrupt conditions. Overall, March delivers reliable surf with clean, powerful waves, but sessions should be timed to avoid stronger onshore winds later in the day.
