Surfcamp Siberut (Mentawais, Indonesia)

ABOUT THE SURF CAMP

---

LOCATION AND SURF CONDITIONS

---

Mentawai Island chain, which also happens to be the most wave-rich area. We are smack-bang in the middle of more than 10 islands, each with pristine beaches, swaying palm trees and coral-encrusted reefs, along with an amazing number of surfing set-ups, 5 straight out the front and another 25+ waves within half an hour of camp. We aim to share our high end location and facilities at a low end price with enthusiasts from across the world.
The best time of year to visit us is March to October (the biggest swells are in June to August), but there are waves all year round. The ‘off season’ usually has empty line-ups and is a great time for less-experienced surfers to visit as swells are usually a little smaller – for this reason, we open in March and stay open until the beginning of December

SURROUNDINGS / REGION

Characterization of surroundings/region

The Mentawai Islands are group of islands off the west coast of Sumatra. They are an isolated paradise situated in the perfect geographical position for the almost constant Indian Ocean swell trains, every island is post card perfect where coconut palms & jungle meets an ocean full of pristine coral reefs and unmatched waves. Very few surfers return home from here disappointed with the wave quality, quantity and consistency. It is known across the globe as having “the best waves in the world” a claim rarely disputed. Being so close to the equator, the winds are extremely light and variable, unlike other parts of Indonesia which are strongly affected by seasonal trade winds. This means we have an abundant of rights and lefts almost every day. The islands are picture perfect in all directions, and loaded with unique flora and fauna. In the furthest reaches of the larger islands, it is possible to witness one of the last truly unchanged ancient cultures, the jungle-dwelling Sarereiket people.
