Surf Trip · Banyuwangi, East Java

Red Island Trip

Consistent waves and a relaxed, crowd-free atmosphere — for all levels.

Red Island (Pulau Merah) sits in Banyuwangi, East Java — one of Java’s best-kept surf secrets: a relaxed, crowd-free surf destination with moderate, consistent waves and unique red-sand beaches. The trip is built around your surfing: guided sessions matched to your level and the swell, daily video analysis and personal coaching. You’ll leave surfing faster, more confident, and reading the ocean better than ever.

Friendly Beach Break

Waves from 3 to 6 feet, ideal for all levels — up to 8 feet in peak season for advanced surfers.

Level-Based Coaching

Sessions matched to your level and the day’s conditions.

Video Analysis

Film, review and fix — see your surfing improve daily.

Small Groups

Personal guiding with a relaxed, like-minded crew.

The wave

Red Island

Red Island delivers consistent, well-formed waves suitable for all skill levels. Beginners find their feet on the softer, forgiving sections while intermediate and advanced surfers can push into the faster, hollower walls.

Wave height typically ranges from 3 to 6 feet, rising to 8 feet during peak season. The best conditions arrive with offshore winds from the south or southeast — clean rides and plenty of room in the lineup. Surf mid to high tide for the best experience; the dry season (April–October) brings the most consistent swell.
