Spot guide
Surfing Macaronis
Macaronis, off North Pagai in the southern Mentawai Islands, has a reputation as one of the most fun and consistent waves in the world. The left-hand reef break opens with a hollow tube section and then runs into a long, rippable wall, peeling for one to three hundred metres with remarkable regularity.
It works on swells from the south round to the west from about April to October and is at its most playful in small to medium swells, though it handles more size when the swell builds. It works through all tides, with the falling tide often best, and the reef needs more care at low tide.
There is no road access: surfers arrive by charter boat or stay at the nearby resort, and the lineup can be busy when several boats are anchored up. Macaronis suits intermediate to advanced surfers looking for high-quality, user-friendly waves.
