WEATHER

Because the Mentawai islands are positioned in the Indian Ocean, you can surf all year round. The islands are exposed to swells from pretty much every direction, but there are 3 different seasons to consider.

On season
(May - September)

This is the prime-time for the Mentawais. This season will provide you with the biggest swells of the year. If you want to get the barrel of your life and experience what true Indonesian surf is like then between May and September are the months for you.

Off season
(December – February)

The region is quiet and the weather is amazing. Which means you have perfect small waves in an empty line-up. Because the waves are smaller, this is a good season for beginners and intermediates.

Shoulder seasons
(March – April & October – November)

In this season, be prepared for everything. You will get solid overhead swells and small fun days. The waves are good and there are not so many people. This season is highly enjoyable for the skilled surfer, and particularly attractive to intermediate surfers.
