Surf When It’s Best
Two boat trips a day
Morning and afternoon, you're on the water. The boat is fast, stable, and built for reef access, with board racks and shade for the ride. Between sessions, you're back at camp: chef lunch, pool, rest. When conditions shift, the plan shifts with them.

A Season for Every Surfer
MENTAWAI SURF SEASONS — WHEN TO COME
The Mentawai Islands deliver world-class surf year round, with each season offering its own style. Peak months during the dry season (June–August) bring powerful swells and heavy, challenging conditions for those looking to charge, shoulder seasons (March–June & September–November) balance quality waves with fewer crowds, and the fun season (December–February, wet season) delivers smaller, playful sessions in an easygoing island atmosphere.

Shoulder Seasons
Condition: Consistent, high-quality waves
Size: 3 to 6ft
Water temperature: 30°C
Weather: Mostly sunny days, occasional showers, lighter winds — excellent windows for surfing.
Vibe: Fewer boats and fewer surfers compared to peak season.
Solid surf: Regular south swells continue to deliver, often with slightly smaller but still high-quality waves — perfect for a mix of intermediate to advanced surfers.
recommended Surf Wear
Tropical waters stay 26–28 °C year-round — boardshorts or a bikini are all you need, with a lycra or neoprene top for sun protection.
