MACARONI'S RESORT

WAVES

Macaronis Wave; 5 mins by speedboat from your own private villa!!

Macaronis is surfable on large or small swells, in all tides and almost any wind conditions. It has a reputation as being the best on-shore wave to surf in the world and is popular with both intermediate and experienced surfers. On large swells Macas can offer some of the most epic tube riding conditions around and in smaller swells it is a perfectly shaped peeling left hander, great for all levels of surfing.

Macaronis Resort is located centrally to a range of other classy Mentawai waves like Lances Left, Lances Right, Bintangs, Malakopak Right, Rag's Right, Rag's Left and Thunders, all accessible on Indies Explorer. Alternatively, closer by waves such as Silabu Left, Macas Right, Greenbush and Bat Cave are all accessible by resort speedboats.

Maca's Right

5 min speedboat ride from Macaronis Resort
Maca's Right is a long hot doggers wave that needs northerly winds and a medium to high tide to be working.

Bat Cave

45 min north from the resort via speedboat
Another option for those seeking a long mellow right hand wave is 'Bat Cave'

Green Bush

35 min south from Macas Resort via speedboat
A very hollow left hander that can either lock you in the barrel with no exit, or you may be lucky enough to avoid the lip and make a mind blowing tube before negotiating a safe exit off the wave.

Salibu Left

10 min north from the resort via speedboat
Silabu Left sometimes becomes a favorite for guests at the resort that prefer fun uncrowded and mellower waves than at Macaronis.

Hollow Trees

Hollow Trees, more commonly known as 'HT's' (or Lances Right), was voted the 7th most enjoyable wave in the world by Waves magazine (December edition, 2003). It was also ranked the 12th most perfect wave in the world by Tracks Magazine, 2001.

Lances Left
