Macaronis
Macaronis (Silabu)
A world-class left-hand surf break northwest of North Pagai, known for its clean lines and frequent barrels, and often called one of the most fun waves on the planet.
Macaronis is located in Silabu Bay, northwest of North Pagai. It is a long, well-defined left-hander that peels over a coral reef, frequently forming hollow barrels you can tuck into. Surf magazines have ranked it among the most fun waves in the world.
The break is managed by nearby resorts, and crowds are limited. Surfers need to stay at a designated surf camp or travel on a surf charter boat. The boat trip from Padang takes about 8 to 10 hours. The reef is very shallow, so take care at low tide. This spot is best suited to intermediate and advanced surfers.
