Surfing Mentawai Islands

West Sumatera is a place with Unique and Tolerant Culture Matrilineal, this unique culture and only applied by Minangkabau ethnic in sumatra and Negeri Sembilan in Malaysia. West Sumatera is the best locations in the world for surfing, with a combination of big waves, variation of conditions and miles of coastline. One of the absolute best surf locations is the Mentawai Islands.


The Mentawai Islands are one of the most consistent surf destinations in the entire world. It’s broad exposure towards the vast, southern Indian Ocean provides these majestic islands with remarkable consistency and quality. There are great waves in this area YEAR-ROUND. However, the most ideal time to surf in the Mentawai’s is during the dry season, late March to early November, the southern hemisphere’s winter, when the Indian Ocean is an ultra-active, groundswell producing machine. Alot of film crews also film their movies here such as young guns 2 and 3, dane reynolds first chapter and practically every high budget surf film.
