Enggano surf guide

Enggano is a lesser-known surf spot located on a remote island that’s not easy to reach. To explore its promising shores, surfers typically need to hop on a charter boat. This island offers a few different surf options that can be a nice stop if you're sailing up from Java to the Mentawais. While it may not be as famous as other spots, Enggano has its own charm and can provide a unique experience for those willing to make the journey.

The waves here can handle sizes starting at around 2 feet (0.6 meters) and work well with swell coming from the South and West, with the best swell direction being SouthWest. Most of the breaks are reef breaks, featuring left-hand waves that are better suited for intermediate surfers. For those looking to catch waves, a low to mid tide tends to be preferable, and the ideal wind direction is SouthEast. While it's not a major surf destination, the range of waves means that there can be decent rides to enjoy when conditions are right.

When planning a surf trip to Enggano, keep in mind that accessing the island typically means some logistical planning. Be prepared for a bit of adventure, as this spot is more about exploring the wild side of surfing rather than finding a bustling surf scene. If you're up for it, Enggano can offer a fresh and less crowded experience compared to more popular locations.
