Table - best surf conditions forecast for Hideaways (Mentawi Islands) over the next 16 days.
Right, Rusty here with the imperial version. Hideaways (Mentawi Islands) is a reef that’ll be picking up a steady run of SW groundswell over the next 16 days. Water sits at 86°F – just about normal for the season – and crowds are a common thing here (often busy). But when it’s good, it’s good.
Friday 10th July: morning brings 6 ft SSW swell, 16 seconds, offshore from the SE at 12 mph. That’s strong energy (1305). Afternoon goes cross‑off but still surfable. Saturday 11th: swell drops to 5 ft, still clean with gentle offshores. Sunday 12th: smaller – 4 ft morning, 3 ft afternoon, light winds. Monday 13th: morning 4 ft, then a weird afternoon with 3 ft at 21 seconds – the long period will give smooth lines at the reef. Tuesday 14th is a standout: morning 5 ft at 18 seconds, offshore 9 mph, energy 1667 – excellent for intermediates and above. Afternoon 5 ft, 17 seconds, still offshore. Wednesday 15th: 4‑5 ft, clean all day. Thursday 16th: 5 ft, light offshores. Friday‑Saturday (17‑18th): repeating 5 ft, clean. Sunday 19th: 4 ft morning, 4 ft afternoon.
Monday 20th July: the big one. 7 ft SSW groundswell, 17 seconds, glassy – wind only 3 mph. Energy 2660 – that’s huge. This is for experienced surfers only, but the reef will give you an incredible ride. Afternoon stays 7 ft with light offshore. Tuesday 21st: morning 6 ft, then the surf dies – Tuesday afternoon flat. From Wednesday 22nd through Thursday 24th it’s tiny, barely worth paddling out. Friday 25th: a small rebound – 3 ft, 16 seconds, glassy again. So the real standouts are Tuesday 14th and Monday 20th (the latter more than a week out, so keep watching). Stay stoked.
Rusty out.
