Beng Beng

Looking for a fun, rippable left-hander in the Mentawai Islands? Beng Beng is one of the most popular and consistent waves in the Playgrounds area, perfect for surfers of all levels. Just 5 minutes by boat from Sabbit Mentawai Surf Camp, Beng Beng offers mellow take-offs, playful sections, and reliable conditions throughout the surf season.

Why Surf Beng Beng?

• Super Consistent: Beng Beng works best at medium or low tide and in the 3 to 5 foot range, making it one of the most reliable waves in the Mentawais.
• All Levels Welcome: This wave is ideal for everyone, from beginners to advanced surfers. The easy take-off and long, rippable walls make it a favorite for progression and fun sessions.
• Small Tube Section: After the take-off, enjoy a short barrel section before the wave opens up for carving turns and down-the-line maneuvers.
• Works on All Tides: Beng Beng is surfable on all tides, so you can catch waves throughout the day without worrying about changing conditions.
• Protected and Scenic: Set in a tranquil bay surrounded by palm trees and white sand beaches, Beng Beng is sheltered from southerly winds and offers a stunning backdrop for your surf sessions.

Surfing Tips for Beng Beng

• Best Season: The prime time to surf Beng Beng is from April to October, when swells are most consistent and the conditions are ideal.
• Watch for Reef: The wave breaks over a reef, and there’s a dry section at the end—be mindful as you finish your ride.
• Board Choice: Bring your shortboard, fish, or even a longboard for smaller days. Booties are not necessary, but always use caution on the reef.
