Sumatra Surf Spot Map
A boat trip in Sumatra is a dream come true for any surfer.
There are great waves, beautiful scenery and more great waves.
We have separate sections on the Mentawai
Islands and the Hinako
Islands for you to take a look at. So how about Sumatra in
general....
It is an area packed full of top quality waves that you will
not believe just how good it is. This area is a major swell
magnet and surf between surf between March and November is
absolutely guaranteed. Sumatra has been popular with the hardcore
travelling surfer for a long while, but as the islands open
up more and surf packages become available, the once inaccessible
region becomes available for everyone. There are uncrowded
spots out there waiting, they are probably peeling endlessly
as you are reading this.
Sumatran swells are regularly 6-12ft in from March to November
and 3-6ft throughout the rest of the year - if you are heading
to Sumatra for a surf trip you are going to get tropical perfection
- Get out there.

If you are serious about surfing and travel you will need
a decent surfing guide book. Take a look at the Stormrider

these books are.
