Bankvaults

Located in the Mentawi Islands, Bankvaults is a renowned reef break that delivers consistent, powerful waves ideal for advanced and expert surfers. The best conditions occur during the dry season from May to October, with groundswells from the south-southwest. North-northwest winds are favorable, though there is no shelter from cross-shore breezes. The break works at all tide stages, and crowds are rarely an issue, making it a sought-after spot for those seeking uncrowded, high-performance waves. Surfers should be cautious of strong rips and undertow.
