Indonesia is one of the most consistent surf destinations in the world. The best waves on these islands can be had from March to October, with the biggest swells likely to occur in June - September. During these months the winds are variable and it's easy to find a break with offshore conditions since there are waves facing almost every direction. The swells are from the South to Southwest and are generated from the many low pressure systems as they move across the southern Indian Ocean. During the peak months of June - September, the surf ranges from head-high to double overhead, with larger swells at times, and usually never drops below 3-4 feet. In the early and late season (March - May and October - November), the waves usually average from chest high to a couple feet overhead. This is a great time for surfers seeking less intense waves and offers more options perhaps for intermediate surfers.

Especially in mentawai islands you'll need to take everything with you that you think you may need. There are no surf shops in the islands or in Padang, so make sure you have a spare surfboard or two, along with extra fins, leg-ropes, wax, etc. Board size is a personal thing, but it would be wise to bring an assortment for various conditions. The warm waters make it possible to swim without a wetsuit, but a vest or long-sleeved rashie is advised for protection from the sun. Booties are a necessity due to the sharp coral found on all the reefs. A helmet is also recommended.

The Mentawai Islands are one of the most consistent surf destinations in the entire world. The power of southern Indian Ocean storms is turned by the prevailing SE trades towards these amazing islands and amplified. The result is surf that is remarkably consistent and of unsurpassed quality. During the southern hemisphere winter, (late April to early November) the Indian Ocean is an over-active, groundswell machine.

The Mentawai Islands have consistently high temperatures and humidity, with very little change in temperature year round due to it’s proximity to the Equator. The temperature ranges between 72–90 F degrees (22–32C). Water temperature is fairly constant at about 80F degrees (27C). The dry season in this region of Indonesia is from January to September, and the wet season is from from October to December. Even during the dry season, you can expect regular rainfall, usually lasting for 1-2 hours, but this usually occurs at night. In the wet season, the rain is more frequent and a light rain jacket is good to have with you. The winds are variable throughout most of the year. Since the islands are very close to the Equator, they are less affected by any trade winds and most winds are due to local storms or pressure differentials with many glassy days during the surf season.

The Mentawai Islands are a chain of about seventy islands and islets off the western coast of Sumatra in Indonesia. Siberut (4,030 km²) is the largest of the islands. The other major islands are Sipura, North Pagai (Pagai Utara) and South Pagai (Pagai Selatan). The islands lie approximately 150 km off the Sumatran coast, across the Mentawai Strait. The indigenous inhabitants of the islands are known as the Mentawai people. The Mentawai Islands have become a noted destination for surfing.

The Mentawai islands are sedimentary mostly dominated by shale, silt, and malrs of relatively young age. The heaviest rain takes place in April (290 mm) and October (390 mm) and is relatively dry in the months of February to June.

The islands are inhabited by local villagers scattered throughout and the main contact they have with the Western world is through the main ports, or encountering traveling surfers aboard charter boats. The landscape is made up of dense tropical forest sloping up from the coast to the high mountain ranges. Be aware that Malaria is rampant on these islands and surfers should take full Malaria precautions when visiting the Mentawais.
