E-Bay

North Pagai, Mentawai, Indonesia
🪸Sharp reef🪨Rocks😮‍💨Hold-downs

E-Bay is a heavy, hollow left-hander in the Mentawai Islands that breaks over sharp reef with two distinct rock sections. The wave produces excellent tube time in stunning emerald-green water, making it a photographer's dream. Located in the North Pagai island group, it picks up consistent SW swell during the April-October season and benefits from light easterly trade winds. The wave is best at medium tide and requires intermediate-to-advanced skills due to the shallow reef and rock hazards.
