Kokos Hostel: $13 - $25
Bonsai Surf House: $18 - $32

Step 3 - Get on the boat to the Mentawais and start your surf trip!

If you'd like us need help or have any other questions just let us know.

Surf conditions

The Mentawais are a consistent year-round destination. You'll be staying in the Northern Mentawais, right in front of two epic waves: Ebay (a fun left-hander that goes from barreling at mid tide to rippable at high tide) and Pitstops (a rippable right hander with the occasional barrel perfect for all levels).

A short boat drive away, you'll find some of the most incredible waves in the whole world: Bankvaults, Rifles, Kandui and many secret surf spots we won't even mention.

When to go:
Peak Season (June to September)
Large and consistent swells turn on some of the best waves in the area, with wave height hitting sometimes double overhead+. If you're looking to score the barrel of your life, this is the time to come to Indonesia. If you are an intermediate surfer, don't worry: sheltered surf spots abound and while all the pros are looking for solid surf you will be enjoying fun conditions without too much crowds.

Shoulder Season (March and April, October and November)
Depending on the forecast you can find everything from solid swell to small and fun surf days. Crowds are lower than peak season and conditions are epic for both the intermediate surfer and the advanced looking to score with less people in the line-up.

Low Season (December to February)
Yes there are less solid swells and you will encounter more rain, but you'll still be able to surf smaller conditions and with less surfers in the line-up. Recommended to intermediate surfers looking for easier conditions.

Rcommended wetsuit

Wetsuit not needed. Bring a surf hat, reef booties and a helmet if you're considering charging huge barrels.

Avg. Water Temperature

27-28ºC year-round.

Avg. conditions

Depending on the season (see above).

Weather

Warm tropical weather year-round. January and February are the months with the most rainfall.
