The Real Kandui Surf Resort Mentawai Islands
July 7th surf report
It’s another turnover day today with satisfied guests leaving and frothing guests arriving! Our departing guests had a good little run of swell these last few days. Rifles had some waves, although size wise it was pretty borderline with only a few legit waves coming through, and quite a few people trying to get them. A Frames was about as good as it gets the other day, as well was Nipusi, although those are not the waves we come to Indo for. We also got fun 4-Bobs, Karambat, Beng Beng, Hideaways… It was pretty much a smorgasbord. I could try to pick out a few nice shots from all those places, but I just can’t do it. Bankvaults was the place to be and it’s hard to post shots of anywhere else when Bankvaults is doing it’s thing. We did pretty good about avoiding the crowd and getting the best conditions there as well, even getting it a couple of hours by ourselves with good conditions, although we were kicking ourselves that the double overhead sick ones were always somehow getting by us and rolling through unridden! We’ll get em’ next time.
As much fun as we have been having, it’s been definitely slow swell wise considering we are in July, and the forecast is looking for more of the same with only a couple of moderate swells on the horizon. But the upside to that is that the Indian Ocean seems to just build up pressure during spells like this and then it seems to make up for lost time with a series of bombing swells. If I were you, I would see if there is any space available in the upcoming trips and buy your tickets now!
