Surf Saraina Charters
The Mentawai Islands is a mecca for surfing, and a trip on board Saraina Charters will give you access to some of the best waves in the region, including HTs, Macaronis, Rifles, Greenbush and many more.
The experienced surf guides on Saraina Charters have one goal, to help you track down epic waves. They can help you uncover empty lineups and hidden gems, covering over 740 km up and down the Sumatran coast, in search of the best waves and conditions.
The Mentawai Islands offer waves from three to 12 ft, with the average wave being about six feet. Many of these waves are located close together, with locations like Playgrounds having a huge variety of waves all in one area.
For guests on Saraina Charters who would like even more adventure, your surf charter can start from further north or south, slightly off the beaten track to uncover more empty waves and once-in-a-lifetime experiences.
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.
HTs
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.
Surf Guides
On a Mentawais surf charter, you need experienced surf guides with knowledge of the local surf breaks. The Saraina Charters’ crew is familiar with the region and they know where to find the best surf each day to help you get the most out of your Mentawai Islands surf trip.
Non-Surf Activities
