Surf Moon Palikir – Mentawai Surf Charters
Surfers from around the world have been chasing waves in the picturesque Mentawai Islands since the early 1990s. The untouched beauty and amazing waves have made it one of the most sought-after spots to surf in the world.
There are more than a dozen world class reef breaks to surf in the Mentawai Islands. The mechanical perfection and variety of waves make it the perfect destination for all levels of surfers.
Swell generally hits the Mentawai Islands from March through to November, with wave size ranging from 6 to 12 ft. Cyclone swells continue to keep the waves rolling in throughout the remainder of the year.
Rifles
Rifles is one of the longest and most perfect right-handers in the world. Some surfers have been known to get six barrels in one ride! A stunning 400 metre ride, Rifles is best surfed during mid to high tide, with big southerly swells and northerly winds.
Telescopes
Goofy footers will love this left-hand reef break set amidst the beautiful chain of Mentawai Islands. This break works best during south-west swell with south-east winds and breaks anywhere from 3 to 10 ft.
Lances Left & Right
Lances Left is one of the most consistent waves to surf in the Mentawai Islands. Even when there are more surfers, it rarely feels crowded thanks to several different take-off spots.
Lances Right, or as it’s locally known, Hollow Trees (HT’s) is a wave you’re likely to find on the cover of a surf magazine. This mechanical right-hander is consistent and in the right conditions, picture-perfect.
Macaronis
Adding to the plethora of world-class waves in the Mentawai Islands, Macaronis has been listed as one of the top 10 surf spots in Indonesia. Macaronis has a hollow first section, followed by a long rippable wall that’s perfect for advanced to intermediate surfers.
Greenbush
Greenbush sits south of Macaronis and is a well-known break in the southern end of the Mentawai Islands. A shallow left-hander, Greenbush offers up tubes for more experienced surfers.
Thunders
A super-consistent wave, Thunders is a left-hander that produces heavy barrels on bigger days, and more relaxed conditions on a smaller swell. Thunders is a great option when swell isn’t hitting some of the other surf breaks in the Mentawais.
Rags
For experienced surfers, Rags is a fast right-hand tube that only works during a high-tide. With big, thick barrels, in the right conditions this wave is perfect for surfers hunting down churning tube rides.
The Hole
More out of the way than other surf breaks in the Mentawai Islands region, The Hole is a heavy left-hander suitable for advanced surfers. While it only breaks in the right conditions, when it does, surfers may get the best ride of their lives.
Surf Guides
On a Mentawais surf charter you need experienced surf guides with knowledge of the local surf breaks. On board Moon Palikir, the boat owners are dedicated surfers who have spent 10 years in the Sumatra region hunting down the best waves.
Moon Palikir’s surf guides are familiar with the region and know where to find the best surf each day and help you get the most out of your Mentawai Islands surf trip. The boat’s crew prides itself on its ‘no effort is too much’ approach to finding the best waves and even have a few secret spots up their sleeves to share with Moon Palikir’s lucky guests.
Non-Surf Activities
When you need some time to rest and recuperate out of the waves, there are plenty of non-surf activities available for guests while staying on Moon Palikir. Grab some snorkelling gear to explore the underwater wonderland, grab a fishing rod and throw in a line, or take off on an island adventure on a stand-up paddleboard. Island trips with an experienced guide can also be arranged.
