The wind at G-Land blows offshore between the months of April and September, which also happens to be when the swells are at their largest and most consistent. Since the swells are generated by low pressure systems circling Antarctica, their regularity coincides with the passage of these lows. So, the swell arrive in pulses, each lasting for a couple of days, with a couple of days between each swell.
G-Land offers 3 distinct sections, depending on tide and swell patterns. Kong's: The outside reef, an open faced wave with a high pocket, surfable at low tide up to the limits of your courage. Only connects with Moneytrees on huge swells. At low tide, the section between Kongs and Moneytrees produces an intense barrel known as the Ledge. Moneytrees: A down-the-line wall that barrels is the prime take off point, From the Moneytrees section the wave lifts at an inside peak called Launching Pads, then reaches top speed and it's climax on an inside wedge and long-running section that has appropriately been named Speedies, a cylinder that peels mechanically across shallow reef. It is the shallow Speedies section that has produced some of the most insane adrenaline-pumping barrel rides yet.

Other breaks: There are a couple of other novelty breaks at G-Land namely Chickens, 20/20's & a nice right hander nicknamed Tiger Trails which is quite popular with the natural footers and makes a nice change at times to the sometimes intimidating main break.

The trip to G-Land departs from Bali, where you are collected from your hotel. Comfortable air conditioned buses then take you to Gilimanuk, a three hour drive.  The ferry to Java takes about half an hour, and from there a one hour drive takes you through Banyuwangi to Choko Bay resort, just outside Grajagan village. At day break, we make for the river mouth to board a boat which takes twenty minutes to reach the resort/camp. The tour packages are for 4 days (3 nights), 7 days (6 nights), 10 days (9 nights) or longer if requested.
