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 Guide Europe, Stormrider Guide North America and the World Stormrider Guide books. We cannot emphasise just how good these books are.
