Why Choose Awera Resort in the Mentawai Islands?
Awera combines access to one of the world’s great surf regions with the comfort, space and calm of a proper boutique island resort.
The resort sits in a strong surf zone with several waves in its own bay and boat access to more breaks nearby. That flexibility helps the team follow swell, wind, tide and the needs of the group rather than relying on one fixed wave.
It works particularly well for couples, families and mixed groups because surfing is only one part of the experience. Non-surfing guests can enjoy the beach, pool, tropical gardens and slower island pace.
- Warm-water surfing and Indian Ocean swell
- Local waves plus boat access to nearby breaks

The Surf Around Awera
The area can offer playful walls, powerful reef breaks and several recognised Mentawai waves within reach.
Follow The Best Conditions Each Day
Awera’s bay includes local surf options, while boats can reach breaks such as Telescopes, Icelands and Scarecrows when conditions suit.
The right choice depends on swell, wind, tide and surfing ability. That flexibility is one of the resort’s greatest advantages.

Mentawai Surf Seasons
The main swell season generally runs from April to October, while shoulder periods can offer smaller waves and a more relaxed feel.
Larger and more consistent Indian Ocean swells are more common during the main season. Outside peak months, conditions can still be enjoyable and may suit improving surfers looking for smaller waves.
The best window depends on reef confidence, desired wave size and the experience of everyone travelling. Outer Reef can help you compare the options before booking.
