The Island of Nias is about 125 kilometres off the West Coast of Sumatra. The island has some world class surfing and is a good launching point for travel to neighbouring islands like the Mentawais and Hinako Islands.
The Best time to surf Nias is from June to October with the biggest swells, however the rest of the year is ideal for those wanting smaller waves.
Nias has one of the best righthanders in Indonesia. It is situated at the western end of Lagundi Bay and holds up to 15 foot. There is also an excellent left reef break that works well over 4 foot. If you are looking for hollow, deep waves Nias is definitely worth visiting. There are also many other spots to explore like the Hinako Islands..
The accommodation situation is currently changing on Nias. Please contact STC to find out what is happening at present.
