About

One of the best spot in north of Mentawaï.

Atmosphere:
Awesome left barrels, heavy and perfect.

Additional Info:
One of Mentawais best waves.

Long, heavy and barreling. Usually about 80-100m long, but on bigger days up to about 150m or so into the little bay, barreling all the way along.

Holds any size from chest high up to as big as you want. Easy to get caught by sets swinging wide. Not for beginners, it's heavy and shifty and pretty nasty on the inside if you get washed over the shelf. Boils and reef heads pup up out of the water and you might lose a fin or some skin.

Can't surf on low tide, too shallow, but from low to mid up.
