About Seven Palms
Seven Palms adalah reef break yang santai dan menyenangkan di Mentawais, dinamai berdasarkan pohon palem ikonik yang menghampar di tepi pantai dan menciptakan suasana untuk sesi selancar yang santai namun berkualitas. Ombak ini menawarkan dinding yang menyenangkan dan mengalir yang mudah dijangkau oleh peselancar menengah, dengan cukup tenaga untuk menjaga agar tetap menarik. Ini adalah tempat yang bagus untuk menemukan ritme Anda di Mentawais dan menikmati selancar yang konsisten dan tidak ramai dalam suasana tropis yang menakjubkan. Harapkan senyuman di air dan naungan di pantai.
Local knowledge
Terumbu ini dangkal saat air surut dengan karang hidup yang tajam yang akan menghukum jatuh — sepatu terumbu layak dipertimbangkan dan luka terumbu harus diobati dengan cepat di tropis. Arus saluran yang moderat dapat mendorong Anda dari puncak jika Anda tidak mendayung untuk mempertahankan posisi, dan landak laut mengintai di rak dalam dekat titik keluar. Lalu lintas kapal dari kapal sewa yang berlabuh di area tersebut bisa menjadi bahaya, terutama di saluran — tetap terlihat dan waspada saat mendayung keluar.
Seven Palms hanya dapat diakses dengan perahu — Anda akan mencapainya melalui liveaboard atau charter harian dari Padang atau salah satu basis resor lebih jauh ke dalam kepulauan; cari tujuh pohon palem yang khas di tepi pantai sebagai penanda Anda. Masuk biasanya melalui saluran di sisi reef break, menjauh dari terumbu hidup — kapten perahu Anda akan tahu titik penurunan yang paling aman. Kembali ke saluran daripada mencoba masuk melalui terumbu dalam, terutama saat air surut.
Bentuk yang menyenangkan atau mid-length groveller (6'0"–6'6") cocok untuk ombak ini pada hari-hari standar 2–4 ft — sesuatu dengan volume untuk membantu Anda meluncur ke dinding yang lebih lembut dan menikmati perjalanan yang lebih panjang. Jika gelombang solid mendorongnya lebih dari 5 ft, gunakan shortboard performa reguler Anda; ada cukup tenaga pada set yang lebih besar untuk membuat papan yang tidak stabil terasa menjengkelkan.
mellow — relaxed vibe.

Surfing in Mentawai
Full Mentawai surf guide →If there's one name that makes surfers go quiet and start saving, it's the Mentawai. This remote archipelago of more than 70 islands sits off the west coast of Sumatra, fully exposed to raw Indian Ocean swell, and it has earned its reputation as one of the most concentrated, high-quality wave zones on Earth.
✈️Getting there
All routes run through Padang, the port city in West Sumatra. Fly into Padang's Minangkabau International Airport (PDG), usually via Jakarta, or via Kuala Lumpur or Singapore on regional carriers.
🛵Getting around
The Mentawai are about boats, not roads. Once you arrive, your daily transport to the waves is by boat — either the liveaboard itself or the resort's tenders and speedboats running surfers out to the breaks.
🌤️Climate & season
The Mentawai are equatorial, hot and humid year-round, with water warm enough for boardshorts or a thin top (roughly 27–29°C). There's no real winter — just wetter and drier patterns.
