REGION

Parked in the North Indian Ocean, long range ground swells travel miles and unload in a tropical paradise full of amazing people, waves for all levels, palms and coconuts aplenty.

Indo has 2 seasons, wet and dry. Dry season has the most consistent winds and larger swells but don’t be fooled, if you know where to look there are amazing waves year round.

Sure wet season can be wet, but so can getting pitted in an uncrowded reef break with your mates. Off season can deliver amazing waves and we are as passionate about this time of year as any.

If you are an absolute charger, then large dry season swells and heaving 8-10 footers at Treasure Island will be your dream. However, if you love hanging with your mates, sinking a few beers, and perfect shoulder to overhead points and reefs then do not count out the shoulder season.

Here’s a guide to the waves which you might get to surf during your trip. Our operators have years of experience and will do their best to ensure that you’re in the right place at the right time. If you’re lucky they might even let you in on some of their secret spots too!

GETTING THERE

Getting to the Banyak Islands is an adventure. One well worth embarking on to surf world class waves in a rural, untouched part of the world off the coast of North Sumatra.

Start by organising flights into Medan, North Sumatra (usually from either Kuala Lumpur, Jakarta, Singapore or Bali). Once there, most operators can organise transport from Medan, though sometimes it will be at an additional cost.

(Any trip specific details such as pick up times, hotel arrangements or additional requirements shall be emailed to you within 48 hours of your booking confirmation)

GETTING FROM MEDAN TO GUNUNGSITOLI:

Operator Transfer (recommended):

The operator can arrange return transfers from Medan for an additional $400 USD per person. This can be arranged though Wave of the Day once your booking has been made. You must be ready to depart Medan at 8.30am on the date of your trip so we recommend staying the night before your trip. The transfer package includes pickup from hotels in Medan. If staying near the airport, we recommend Wings or Crew Hotels, or if in the city, the Swiss-Belle Hotel. On the final day of your trip you must not depart Medan before 5pm. We also recommend staying in Medan the night after your trip in case of any delays.

Make your own way:

The Seriti operates out of the port of Gunungsitoli in Nias. If you make your own way, you will need to be at Gunungsitoli Airport by 11am on the Day of departure for transport to the Seriti.
