Macaronis is a well-known surf spot located in the Mentawai Islands of Indonesia. It's often referred to as a fun park for surfers, attracting a mix of travelers and locals looking to catch some quality waves. The spot is famed for its laid-back vibe and the beautiful scenery surrounding it, making it a popular choice for surfers from around the world.

The waves at Macaronis are predominantly lefts and break over live coral. It’s best with a SouthWest swell, but it can also handle swells coming from the south and west. The spot works well with swell sizes starting at about 3 feet (0.9 meters) and can max out at double overhead on good days. When the conditions are right, surfers can enjoy a smooth ride with a combination of barrels and walls, especially during mid tides with an east wind. While it’s suitable for intermediate surfers, be ready for some jostling at the take-off and a few challenging moments, especially when it's smaller.

Macaronis has a reliable setup but be mindful that the reef is sharp and shallow. When sets start rolling in, getting caught inside can push you down the line, so know your limits. Lots of surfers come here to get their share of fun, so be prepared to share the waves. The local scene usually has a solid group of surfers aiming for those sweet rides, making it an engaging spot to hang out and surf.
