On the east side of Siberut island in bigger swells. There are a few land camps around. Not sure of exact location on map, but its certainly one of these headlands. There are also several other good waves nearby.

Additional Information
Unusual left style wave that zips along a rock shelf next to quite deep water. There is a sweet hollow pocket inside, as it zips along the shelf, over about 100m or so. Holds large sizes, but probably best around 3 to 8 foot faces before it starts to wash out. It's got very deep water to bail out in, so it's high performance style rather than down the line. Quite unique and remote.

Atmosphere
Can be excellent and it's not too heavy. Visiting boats from resorts, but needs quite a big swell to get in here.

General
Quite unique and remote.
Awesome spot, hollow pocketty style waves. One of my favourite Mentawai waves, not too heavy, not too light, but needs a very solid swell to get in here (triple overhead at most other spots).
There are also several other quality waves on the east side of Siberut in this region, all of which require large swells to get in, and so only work on occasions in season. Winds also should be out of the north/northwest.
