Why Surf Mentawai in the Off-Season
Off-season Mentawai surfing delivers exceptional wave quality with a fraction of the crowds. While most operators stop running, Outer Reef continues operating due to consistent swells, reliable conditions, and expert local knowledge. This season offers warm water, glassy mornings, offshore winds, and empty lineups—ideal for surfers wanting long rides, perfect barrels, and diverse reef breaks. By avoiding peak-season crowds, you gain more waves per session and a more authentic Mentawai experience.
10-Day Surf Itinerary Overview
Our 10-day Mentawai and Telo surf itinerary is built for maximum water time and flexibility. Each day is shaped by swell forecasts, tide charts, and wind shifts to ensure optimal surf. Explore Indonesia’s most legendary reef breaks with expert local guides who understand every current, tide window, and swell angle. From daily dawn patrols to sunset sessions, each moment of your charter is dedicated to surfing the best waves available across the Mentawai and Telo island chains.
What’s Included: Premium Surf Experience
Every Outer Reef charter includes expert guiding with more than 25 years of Indonesian surf knowledge. Surf Mentawai icons such as HT’s, Macaronis, and Lance’s, alongside the Telo Islands’ diverse reef breaks. With a max of 10 surfers, expect fewer crowds, more waves, and personalized guidance tailored to your ability level. Flexible routing ensures you’re always in the right place at the right time.
Perfect For Intermediate Surfers
Intermediate surfers will thrive on this trip if they can comfortably surf 4–8ft reef waves, navigate currents, and paddle confidently in deeper water. Our guides choose suitable breaks to match your ability, ensuring progression, safety, and unforgettable sessions. This is your chance to level up your surfing in perfect Indonesian waves.
