The Mentawai islands chain consists of 4 main islands: Siberut, Sipora, North Pagai, and South Pagai, surrounded by many other small islands in a stunning area rich in nature and beautiful beaches. Up north, the Telo Islands offer a wide variety of waves of all types in a small, little-explored location on the equator, between Nias and the Mentawais. During the trip, Mentawai Surf Charters sails in search of the best waves according to weather and forecast conditions, sparing no effort to get surfers to the best surf spot daily.

After all these years of fulfilling the expectations of hundreds of surfers in the search for the perfect wave sailing across the archipelago of the Mentawais, Mentawai Surf Charters is now extending its coverage area to keep the dream alive and discover new unexplored waves.

Location

Banyak and Hinako Islands

About a hundred miles to the west coast of Sumatra lies the Banyak’s archipelago. It doesn’t leave much to envy surf wise from its neighbor, the Mentawais. With plenty of world-class surf spots and the crowd factor way smaller, it is the option for the surfer who wants to be off the beaten track and score high.

This archipelago is a host of some incredible waves, many only accessible by boat. You will surf the incredible Banyak Islands with Treasure Island rights, Bay of Plenty Rights & Lefts, and several others.

Depending on the forecast available during your trip, the surf guide in charge may choose to sail south and you will have also the opportunity to explore some secret spots in Nias and the Hinako Islands' world-class waves ASU, Bawa, and more.

Most famous waves

Bangkaru

Also known as Treasure Island, this wave provides a long run with three tube sections. Requires a large swell and is a friendly wave with easy tubes and some challenging sections.

Cobras

When the swell drops too much for Treasures, that's where you move to. A swell magnetic wave that provides tube sections in front of a paradisiac unspoilt white sandy beach.

Joystick

This fun wave breaks on a perfectly shaped semi-circle reef and offers extremely playful walls and tubes. Mid to high tides and moderate to large swell needed to get it good. Great for intermediate surfers or experienced ones who want to let loose.

Lolok

A wave for the chargers who want to get barrelled up! Breaks over a super shallow reef bench at the south point of the bay. Wear your booties if you want to surf the low tide!

Secret Right

When the swell direction aligns with the right wind, this powerful wave machine provides one of the heaviest barrels around. Only for experienced surfers.

Secret Left

In the coast of Nias, breaking over a shallow coral bench and providing a speed section for barrels at the drop, turning to a long wall that extends for about 100 meters ending by the channel. This wave works with light to no wind and needs moderate swell.

ASU

At the northern tip of tiny Asu island you will find this impressive long and barreling wave on top of a shallow reef. Speed is essential to make some of the pinching sections and it gets heavy at size, which it handles with ease. It requires the exactly opposite wind conditions of Bawa to work with perfection.

Bawa

It's a challenging, powerful wave for chargers. The location, way out into the Indian Ocean, picks up more swell than anywhere else and transforms a solid SW swell into round, cavernous pits through the inside bowl section.

Food

During this charter, you will be provided with chef made meals in a diversified menu plus fruits, snacks, soft drinks, and mineral water. Vegetarians and gluten-free diets are welcome under request. A 15-cartoon of Bintang beer is also included per charter.
