Kandui Surf Resort Mentawai Islands
23rd July surf report
We have been biding our time, waiting for the next big swell on the charts, thinking we would be groveling pretty badly. But instead, we have been getting a ton of fun surf at Hideaways, Beng Beng, Ebay, 4 Bobs, and we even got a good session in at Bankvaults when the we got a window of light enough winds for it. There has not been many boats in the area since the winds switched to southish and the boats spread out, so crowds have been light. Our swell started arriving yesterday and really kicked in today. South winds are not optimal for Rifles or Kandui’s, and they were blowing early, but both places were handling. Rifles got quite a bit of attention and there were a few guys on it, including some of our guests, but the surprisinig thing was that Kandui’s was more clean and no one was out. Except for one of our boats of course! Just a handful of our guests were getting barreled out there and a couple of them got the barrels of their lives! Very nice. The swell is suppose to drop a bit tomorrow. We are hoping for another good day. Check out the attached empty wave picture attached. That wave is big! Double overhead for sure. The one that got away!
