The most fun wave in the world. Barrels, perfect walls and air sections, all in one wave, on every tide, right in front of the resort. Macas has a way of making every surfer feel like the best version of themselves. This is the wave you came for.
When the conditions align, this wave offers some of the thickest and hollowest tubes in the Southern Mentawais, a non-stop barrel ride from start to finish. Just be aware of the two infamous coral heads at the kick out point. Located just 50 minutes by speedboat from Macaronis Resort.

A fun, perfectly peeling right-hander that some have called Macas in reverse. Consistent, playful and capable of delivering hollow barrels when the swell picks up. The go-to wave for right-hander chasers, just 45 minutes south of Macaronis Resort.
One of the most consistent waves in the Mentawai Islands, working on all tides and delivering something different every session. High tide brings racy tubes over a shallow reef, low tide opens up a powerful shoulder, and smaller long period swells can turn it into a long hollow barrel machine. Located just 55 minutes by speedboat from Macaronis Resort.
While everyone else is surfing Macaronis, this wave sits quietly in the background, waiting for those willing to be different. On a north wind, south swell and medium to high tide, the outside section delivers a quality, long-walled ride that will surprise you. Accessible by a short dinghy ride from the resort.
Everything you love about Macaronis, with a little less intensity. A perfect left-hand peak breaking just inside the main wave, ideal for those ready to step up from beach breaks to a mellow reef break. Best at high tide and almost always empty. Get dropped off on the way out and flag a boat back when you are ready.
Hidden just around the headland, accessible through the mangrove at high tide by dinghy and almost always empty. A fun, mellow left that works on all tides and stays offshore longer than Macaronis on southerly wind days. Perfect for building confidence on reef breaks or getting surf fit.
A long, mellow right-hander breaking for hundreds of metres along a tiny deserted island, with long racy walls on the right swell. Snorkelling, fishing, cliff jumping, sea caves and a long stretch of remote beach to explore. A perfect full day out for surfers and non-surfers alike. Just 25 minutes by speedboat from Macaronis Resort.
Short, punchy and barreling from take off in deep water. When the tide and swell direction align, this solid right-hander delivers a serious rush of adrenalin. Ask the surf guides when it is on. Located around 60 minutes by speedboat from Macaronis Resort.
