Weather
Indonesia has two main seasons:
Dry Season (April – September): Best surf conditions, favorable winds, long periods of light or no wind.
Wet Season (October – March): Frequent showers, cooler temperatures, less frequent swell but still consistent in Mentawai & North Sumatra.
Local surf guides use real-time forecasts to maximize wave quality. Surf availability cannot be guaranteed due to weather variability.

Surf Route
