Kandui Surf Resort, Mentawai islands August 12th surf report When the day started off, it wasn’t looking too promising. The waves looked as small as yesterday out in front and the winds were blowing pretty strongly out of the east. Our only hope was that the little forecasted bump up in the swell was so west that it wasn’t showing in front of the resort. We loaded up the boat and took off to see what was going on on the west facing reefs. As we rounded baby Kandui we could see lines coming from the top of the island and we knew we would be in luck today. There were a couple of boats at E-Bay so we kept going on to Beng Beng. There were only 3 people out there and the waves were looking good. It was the perfect size for Beng Beng, a foot or two overhead on the sets, and the winds were straight offshore. The sun was out and it was a beautiful day. The 3 other guys got out after a while and we surfed it by ourselves for hours. Exhaustion eventually got the better of us and we headed back for a late lunch. Some of the guys headed out just after that and they surfed Nipusi. It was pretty good size, double overhead or so, but the winds were onshore so they didn’t last long out there. The rest of the guys surfed 4 Bobs. It was a little bigger than this morning but was still only about chest high on the biggest sets. The guys all had a good time though and surfed until dark. We are hoping our swell will hang in there for another day.
