Kandui Surf Resort Mentawai Islands
20th April 2012
We’ve been watching it for days, and it certainly arrived. There was a fair amount of water moving this morning and the swell just increased all day long. By early afternoon, there were 12 waves sets stacked to the horizon and big waves breaking in every direction in front of the resort. This swell was bigger and more consistent than the one last week. We were a little bummed to see 5 boats pull up last night and more than a little bummed to see Rifles crowded in the early morning, but we sent one boat to dog reef where they scored some good waves with no one else out, and we had to pinch ourselves this afternoon when Rifles was pumping and clean with only a handful of people out! We’re not too bummed anymore. The reports are saying that the swell will increase into tomorrow, but this afternoon had all the feel of a peaking swell so I would expect a little smaller surf in the morning. I think a lot of people around here will have no problem with that!
