From March through to October the Mentawai Islands’ surf is pumping, and cyclone swells bring the waves throughout the remainder of the year. Surfing the Mentawai Islands is on the bucket list for many surfers, with dozens of world-class reef breaks spanning from the northern Mentawai Islands all the way to the south. Some well-known Mentawai Islands surf breaks include Lances Left, No Kandui, Rifles, Telescopes, Macaronis, Greenbush, HTs, Thunders, Rags and The Hole.
