Why Surf with Us

Why Surf Mentawai with Mentawai Balcony – Local Surf Trips for All Levels

At Mentawai Balcony, surfing is not just an activity. It’s part of the rhythm of life.

You’ll find a wide variety of waves within easy reach of Mentawai Balcony. Whether you’re chasing soft, peeling rights or hollow left-hand barrels, the Playgrounds Mentawai area delivers.

• Beginner to advanced: From the mellow walls of Beng Beng and Pitstop to the speed and power of Kandui or Rifles, there's a wave for every skill level.

• Consistent swells: The south coast of Siberut gets reliable surf from March to November.

• Flexible access: Daily boat transfers are included in our Mentawai surf package. We leave based on the conditions, not a fixed schedule.

This flexibility means you get the best wave every day, whether you are a beginner, intermediate, or advanced surfer.

Mentawai Waves for All Surf Levels

The key to uncrowded waves in Mentawai is local knowledge. Our guides were born and raised here on Siberut Island. They know:

• When the winds are right for each break

• Which tides work best for specific spots

• How to avoid the boat charter rush hours

You won’t waste time looking. You’ll spend more time surfing the right wave.
