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 Information
Very had to access unless you know some indonesian or are friends with locals....
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.

Theft - Surfed here 2 weeks ago. Surf average but crime heavy. We all had shit stolen including my ipod. Some of the "friendly" locals are not to be trusted.
