The Mentawai Islands enjoys one of the most consistent swell to be found anywhere, thanks to its location facing the Indian Ocean with no bareer to stop the ground swells from the southern latitudes. The best season is the dry season, from late April to early November, when the big storms in the roaring forties, howling fifties and screaming sixties generate a huge swell that travels unimpeeded all the way to the shores of the tropical Mentawai.
There are over 70 islands in the Mentawai archipelago, stretching from south to north, many lined up perfectly to catch the swells from the Indian Ocean. Most famous surf spots are Riffles, Hideaways, Nipussi, burgerworld, Pitstops, Macaronis, Hollow Trees, Thunders, Rags Right, Bintang just to name but a few. A surfer’s paradise with the most perfect waves in the world, regardelss of your surf shkills and all in a pristine tropical environment.

The Mentawai
Mentawai Islands
The Mentawai Islands are located approximately 100 miles across the Mentawai Strait, off the west coast of Sumatra, Indonesia's northernmost and largest island. Although the archipelago is formed by a chain of about 70 islands, there are four main islands, the largest one being Siberut. These are surrounded by numerous smaller islands, many lined up perfectly to catch the swells from the Indian Ocean. The Mentawai are lush, tropical islands cover by rain forests and home to one of the earth’s most fascinating and best-preserved indigenous cultures.
The ClimateThere are two main seasons in the Mentawai: the dry season, which runs from around February to October, and the wet season, which takes up November to January. While the wet season is certainly rainier, one will experience plenty of refreshing tropical showers in the dry season as well. Average air temperatures range between 72°F (22°C) to 90°F (32°C). Water temp runs a pretty constant 80°F (27°C). Wetsuits are never necessary, but tropical wax is always required!
