It needs a decent sized west or southwest swell to get going, when other nearby waves like Telescopes and Icelands will be really cooking. Try it near high tide, bigger is probably easier to get into the barrel. There is even another left a bit further out and around the point that doesnt seem to have a name.
Nobody surfs much around here, as there are better waves nearby, so you will probably have it uncrowded.
One of the Mentawais beautiful waves. A long left reef pass set up with an inside wrapping bowl section. Breaks very far from shore so it is easily blown out by unfavorable winds. Tubes, walls, shoulders...offers up everything, a truly beautiful and elegant wave.
A fun ledgy hollow right hander that races down a shallow reef, hollow but user friendly. Shallow but not to heavy with plenty of opurtunitys to get barreled as it peels and wraps around into deeper water.
When it gets too big theres a few more fun waves in the bay a few hundred meters away that you can also paddle too
Take off deep with a longer board... 6ft 9 and over (even at 5ft)... It's a fast wave that sections; therefore the length of rail and planshape comes in handy... Dont wipeout on low tide!!!
Longish left, a softer wave similar to nearby Beng Beng, but a bit wonkier, not too shallow, a bit fat at times, but can get long to about 100m.+
Peak shifts around a bit, holds from 3 to 10+ foot face (2 to 5 feet). Best section normally towards the end, where it gets hollower.
This wave is a good left just out from the resort at Aloita. It's a pretty good wave, even for the Mentawais, it breaks over about 100m+ with a clean perfect face from 2-6+ feet, and barrels on lower tides or when bigger; the only problem is that it needs a pretty big west-southwest swell to even break, when other waves in the area will be at least double the size and smoking. However the charter boats never surf it, so you will have it alone, except for a few local workers at the resort, but everyone shares the waves. There are 2 more good lefts just round the corner and down the coast, but you will need the boat to drop you off as they are way too far to paddle, they are also always empty and catch a bit more swell.
This is one of the longest and fastest waves in the world on its day. It breaks as long as J-Bay when it's peeling and there's multiple barrel sections. The paddle back out is lengthy! Shallow, Hollow, super fast...WICKED!

Pitstops is a fun little righthander that people either really like, or can't be bothered with. You can't see it from the boat, so get out and take a look if there is any swell, you might be surprised at its perfect shape. Might be the best 2 foot wave you will ever surf!
