Sawarna Access
  Between Cikembang and Ocean Queen Hotel.Onward westerly the road first drops back down to sea level for about 4 kms. The more adventurous surfers have been renting small fishing boats, which take them out to the point near the mouth of the Cibereno River. This break has been rated better & just as consistent as Cimaja & is known as SUWARNA (One colour).

Additional Surfing Infos
 Very had to access unless you know some indonesian or are friends with locals....
  Overview
  Atmosphere Best wave I surfed in indo. 6-8 foot, no one out, took 2 hours by boat to get there from where I was staying. The spot is a swell magnet and has a really deep channel next to it so no clean up sets on the paddle back out. Can only surf in the morning as it gets blown out easily. Very long rides. Super powerful.
  General One of the best places I have ever surfed! I have surfed Australia, Indo, Hawaii.

Village chief
You should defintely check this dude out when you go to Suwarna, his name bapak Hudayu. He makes really cool electric guitars and his sons all play pretty well. If your a guitarist/surfer, take some extra cash and you can pick yourself up a bargain rarity. Hes got a picture on the wall of himself receiving an awards for servioces to the art, from president Suharto. cool old dude and great family to stay with. Suwarna rocks..

Its what you bring with you
After reading the comments thought we'd share a couple with you too. Scored the fun left with some quality during southern hemisphere winter. 2 swells in 2 weeks peaked at 8ft with bigger creepers. It can barrel on takeoff then a top third curl with speedy sections and a long wall (You can really go to town on the joint take your short board and a mid range gun). The right beachie running into the channel by the fishing boats can be fast & fun also. Its not G-land or Mentawi don't expect top to bottom barrels.By the way this is the wrong season, if in doubt check your maps and swell patterning the rest is simple. The refreshing aspect of West Java is the absence of fuckwits. So if you go in the wrong season like May, cruise around with your head in your arse, speak austra-american and/or try to screw village girls you are bound to be voodooed - stay at home or in Bali. If you go in peace with an open mind the place will astound you. For us the place spoke up and now we return to where & when its cranking.
