About G-Land
G-Land, located on the edge of the Alas Purwo National Park in East Java, is an iconic, highly mechanical left-hand reef break. The bathymetry features an exceptionally long, perfectly aligned volcanic coral reef extending out from the jungle-fringed shoreline. This structure flawlessly intercepts deep-water south-westerly groundswells from the Indian Ocean, forcing the wave to reel for hundreds of metres across multiple sections, notably Kongs, Money Trees, and Speedies. The regional south-easterly trade wind blows directly offshore, grooming the face to a pristine texture. The wave breaks with immense velocity over extremely shallow, sharp coral, throwing deep, cylindrical barrels that require precise navigation. Due to the remote location, the severe consequence of a wipeout on the live reef, and the sheer speed of the peeling lip, G-Land is exclusively reserved for advanced to professional surfers. It demands elite tube-riding capabilities and supreme physical endurance.

How often is this page updated?
Current conditions refresh every 6 hours when the cron runs. Hourly data updates every 30 minutes. The 7-day forecast, luck factor, and packing notes are all pre-computed at the same time.
What is the luck factor?
We compare the 7-day forecast to the last 5 years of marine data for the same week at G-Land. The delta tells you whether conditions are shaping up better, worse, or about the same as a typical late April.
How is 'best session' picked?
We score each day of the 7-day forecast using the same algorithm as the leaderboard, and highlight the highest scorer.
Where does the data come from?
Open-Meteo's Marine API (swell height, period, water temperature) and Weather API (wind and conditions).
Does the score capture local knowledge?
Honestly, no. Every break has tide windows, swell directions and reef contours that a global model cannot see. Treat the score as a starting point, then check a local cam.
