Hideaways

A picture-perfect left-hand reef break known for long barrels and crystal-clear water. Handles southerly winds better than many nearby breaks.

Hideaways is one of the most beautiful and reliable waves in the Mentawai Islands, located in the famous Playgrounds region. This world-class left-hand reef break is known for its crystal-clear water, long peeling walls, and perfectly shaped barrel sections. Hideaways often works when other nearby waves are affected by wind, making it a valuable option for surfers and charter boats.

Suitable for intermediate to advanced surfers depending on conditions, the wave offers a mix of tubing opportunities and open-face sections for carving turns. Its consistency, tropical setting, and high-quality surf make Hideaways a favorite among returning Mentawai surfers
