Waves
Perfect waves, breaking in crystal clear water over colorful coral reefs…all this happening meters from idyllic sandy beaches fringed by coconut trees. It’s what you dream about! We’re here to make your dreams a reality.
Indonesia is famous for a reason, the consistency, quality and variety of waves is incredible. We run charters year round as there are waves practically 365 days a year. During peak season (April-October), waves are generally 3-4ft everyday with a solid +6ft swell lasting a few days, seen every week. The off season (November-March) doesn’t mean the waves stop, it just means there are fewer people. We run charters through these months too and always get fun waves with the added bonus of virtually noone around.
Our boats operate out of the port of Padang, West Sumatra, with a few destinations all holding a variety of quality waves. You can choose a trip to the wave dense Mentawai or the more mellow Telo Islands. Trips to either of these locations can be decided a few days before departure depending upon surf conditions, guests’ abilities and preferences.
Our ‘North Trips’ charters are becoming increasingly popular. On these trips guests will get to visit a huge variety of waves by cruising through the Telo Islands, visiting the swell magnets Bawa and Asu and the perfection of Treasure Island and Bay of Plenty in the Banyak Islands. There are also a few surf spots in between. All of this on a single charter!
Whichever area you visit with Mentawai Daze Surf Charters we have your wave needs covered, ensure a smooth operation, and arrive at the right waves at the right time!
The Mentawai Islands are renowned as a “mecca” in the surfing world, and they’re featured in just about every surf film you’ve ever watched.
Why? The number and variety of waves in the Ments are huge. The waves are consistent and break all year round. Some of the best waves in the world are here. Period.
