Description
Scarecrows - North of Pitojat, Sumatra
Scarecrows features a fast, powerful left reef break over sharp coral, ideal for experienced surfers. The wave is hollow and sections well, making it suitable for various maneuvers. It works best at mid to high tide with rising and falling tides, and is most consistent with southwest swells. Access is via boat from the mainland, such as Padang.
This spot is known for its less crowded conditions, providing a reliable option for surfers seeking variety without the hassle of heavy crowds. While it can get messy at high tide, decent waves are often available, especially when other nearby spots are smaller. Scarecrows is particularly favorable for intermediates during smaller swells, but surfers should remain alert to the unpredictable nature of the waves. With the right conditions, this location can deliver exceptional surf experiences.
