Macaronis

Mentawai, Indonesia
🪸Sharp reef🏝️Remote

Macaronis is the Mentawai Islands' most user-friendly world-class wave—a forgiving left that produces 4-6 second barrels followed by rippable walls, working in virtually any conditions. The reef is relatively deep and friendly, the wave handles all tides and even onshore wind, and the takeoff is predictable. The Macaronis Resort sits right in front of the break. When other Mentawai spots are too big, too small, or too windy, Macaronis usually delivers. It's the Mentawais' most reliable path to perfect barrels.
