Description
Macaronis - Mentawai Islands, Indonesia
Macaronis features a left-breaking reef wave characterized by hollow, fast, and powerful sections, perfect for all maneuvers. The bottom consists of sharp coral and rocks, making it essential for surfers to be cautious. Access is primarily via boat, as public access is not available.
Once a hidden gem, Macaronis has gained popularity due to surf charters and a nearby resort, attracting many professional surfers. The wave works at all tides, with the best conditions occurring during a falling tide. Surfers can expect a fun atmosphere with few crowds during the week, although weekends may see a slight increase in numbers. The wave offers epic barrels and a constant lip to hit, making it suitable for intermediate surfers while still challenging for advanced riders. However, be mindful of the rocky bottom, which poses a danger.
