About Java Anyer

Known for kitesurfing, by the OpenStreetMap map of the area. The shore faces NW, so wind from the SE blows out to sea (our estimate from the coastline). Facts: verified.

Water about 30°C: no wetsuit. Typical sea temperature for the time of year, not a forecast.

A spot for kitesurfing, as OpenStreetMap maps it, on a shore facing NW. Wind from the NW blows onshore, wind from the SE blows out to sea, and wind from the NE or SW runs along the shore. It is sheltered to the open sea. The sea floor shelves steeply: 10 m deep about 200 m out (1 in 18). The sea is about 29°C in January, its coldest month (no wetsuit), and 30°C in April, its warmest (no wetsuit). No town nearby. No stay checked for this spot yet: Pasauran, 21 km away, is the nearest town we list. Nearest airport: Soekarno-Hatta International Airport (CGK), 84 km.

Day scores are the conditions out of 80. Wind is the day's best reading: the mean and the gusts in knots (10 kn is about 19 km/h); the arrow points where it blows to. Shore: "side" is side-shore, blowing along the beach, the safe way; "side-on" and "on" blow in towards it; "cross-off" and "off" blow out to sea, and offshore scores nothing for kite and windsurf. Water is the open sea's waves near the spot: flat under 0.3 m, chop to 0.8 m.

Typical, not a forecast. Reanalysis wind misses some local thermal winds, so a spot known for an afternoon breeze may do better than this.
