About This Break

Description: Yo-Yo’s is a renowned surf zone off the western coast of South Pagai Island (Pagai Selatan) in Indonesia’s Mentawai Islands. It features two distinct waves: The Wedge, a powerful right-hand reef break, and The Hook, a left-hand reef break. Both receive substantial Indian Ocean swell, making Yo-Yo’s a popular stop for Mentawai surf charters.

The Wedge is the more explosive of the two waves, offering a steep takeoff, fast walls, powerful turns and occasional hollow sections. It can deliver outstanding high-performance surfing when the swell and wind align. Unlike the long, mechanical barrels of some northern Mentawai reefs, The Wedge is known for its punchy, energetic character.

For surfers looking to buy, sell or invest around the Mentawai Islands, International Surf Properties connects the global surf community with real estate in the places surfers want to live.
