About This Break
Ombak Tidur, known as The Sleeper, is a consistent right-hand reef break near Icelands in the northern Sipora region. Its series of separate sections offers fast walls, turns, and occasional barrels—rewarding surfers who read the reef and choose their takeoff carefully.
Ombak Tidur breaks across several reef sections rather than delivering one continuous ride. The upper peak is often the most dependable, producing quick walls and occasional tubes. Positioning matters: choosing the wrong wave can leave surfers inside with a demanding paddle back out.
International Surf Properties helps surfers find homes, land, and surf retreat opportunities near Ombak Tidur and the world-class waves of the Mentawai Islands.
