Located in Panaitan Island, Java, Indonesia, Apocalypse is a world class right hand reef break that offers up massive, stand up barrels when the conditions line up. The waves here are very difficult to surf and break for up to 200 meters over a coral reef. The entrance is super steep and the barrel kegs immediately, it looks makeable from a boat but only a percentage of the waves are actually are.
