Thunders Surf Report and Surf forecast

Located in the Mentawais, West Sumatra, Indonesia, Thunders is a quality left hand reef break that offers up a heavy wave for the charges at size, and manageable walls and barrels for mortals when smaller. The waves here require you to be on your A-Game to surf and break for up to 150  meters over a large coral reef. There are a couple different sections which have different moods depending on the swell. Racing barrels at the top, then a performance wall, the another barrel section on the inside is the norm. Shifting peaks seem to come out of nowhere, especially at size.

What are the best surf conditions for Thunders?
