Surfing at Mentawi Surf & Boat Lodge

This particular area of South Siberut, Nyang Nyang Island & Playgrounds – is the most condensed wave rich coastline by far. Made famous by the Quiksilver Indies Trader in the 90’s, then by countless surf movies such as September Sessions and Young Guns (to name but a few) as well as gracing the covers of all the major Surfing Magazines – this is the place every surfer dreams of coming. Swell Consistency Without doubt, this is a year round surf destination.

Ground swells run incredibly consistently between May and October, when on any given day, many of the waves are “on”. The main line-ups can be busy on their day but with so many other waves around, crowds are easily avoided. In the so called “off season”, during the rest of the year, swells are smaller in size but big enough to light up many of the set-ups. You’re not guaranteed to surf the flagship spots, but you’ll certainly surf world-class waves – often alone or just a few others about. And occasionally you’ll score the waves of your life if you’re lucky enough to time one of the more sparse ground swells. Winds Winds are usually variable year round but usually light. It’s always offshore somewhere. Getting to the waves With varying winds and swells it’s not ideal to stay at just one surf spot. Boats are an integral part of any surfer’s daily routine here. Pei Pei lodge has 2 boat options. One option is for one to three surfers. The other option is for four to six surfers. Guests can choose either boat as part of their package. Please see our boats section for more detail.
