Summary

M.I.A Surfcamp is a beach front surf camp overlooking five different reef breaks, catering to all board riders of all levels. The Mentawai's are without a doubt the number one surf destination on the planet, no where else can you find the perfection, consistency and number of breaks in such a small area. People travel from all over the world to surf the perfect waves they see online & in the surf videos and magazines the Mentawai Islands have to offer, but don't be fooled there are also plenty of breaks in our area (playgrounds) that are suitable for all surfing abilities.

Your experience at M.I.A is paramount, and it's for this reason we limit our numbers to a maximum of only eight guests at any one time. This boutique style is a more personal experience and surpassing expectations is our goal. For us our trips are not about reaching high numbers, but delivering great experiences (and waves), at a very reasonable price.

We are located in the Northern Mentawai Islands on Nyang Nyang Island, right in front of a break named Nipussi which is the most consistent, user friendly wave in the region by far; plus there's another 4 waves on our doorstep that are more suited to the advanced surfers and bodyboarders one of which is the world famous Bankvaults. On top of this all five waves out front are clearly visible from your spacious accommodation and all areas of camp, so even between surfs your constantly watching epic surf roll in.

We have a relaxed atmosphere here at M.I.A Surfcamp and we want you to feel at home during your stay, getting some of the best surf of your life and experiencing the chilled Mentawai way of life. We know you will fall in love with the waves, the camp, the food, the islands and the people.

Seasonal conditions

The prime surfing season in the Mentawais is between March and October/November. Between December and February, the waves are smaller and mellower, thus more suitable for intermediate surfers. The main difference between the prime season and the off-season lies in the wave size. There are also fewer crowds and northwesterly winds actually favor some of the lesser-known waves.The water temperature is warm year-round, between 26-28°C (79-82°F).

This roughly coincides with the dry season, as well as the best time to surf throughout most of Indonesia. But thanks to their location – getting the most out of the southwestern swells that are consistently being pumped through the Java Trench – there are waves in the Mentawai Islands all year round.

Crowd factor and local people
