A bunch of solid to mid-range swells hit the archipelago throughout October and well into November.<\/p>\n<p>Working and surfing at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.perfectwavetravel.com\/surf-trips\/indonesia\/mentawai\/aloita-resort-and-spa\"><strong>Aloita Resort<\/strong><\/a>, Grant Davis put this clip together which was shot at local spots not too far from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.perfectwavetravel.com\/surf-trips\/indonesia\/mentawai\/aloita-resort-and-spa\"><strong>Aloita<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Oct 3:<\/strong> With the swell building (5-8ft, 212deg @17-16secs), a size check at Icelands was our first stop. We were greeted with 4-6ft clean solid lefts with only a handful of punters already out. It was an easy call for us to have a little dig. \u00a0Some solid bombs were ridden. After everyone had caught a few, we decided to move on to Telescopes. Some chunky 3-4 footers and a rather large crowd were already there, the guests scored their share of waves though.<\/p>\n<p>With the wind switching in a more S-SW direction the boats split for the afternoon session, one to Telescopes and the other to Tikus. Tikus was probably the pick with 3-4ft smackable walls and the odd little barrel.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Oct 4:<\/strong> 10-12ft, 210deg @16-15secs. The swell had peaked and straight to Telescopes we went with others opting to stay behind and surf some pretty good Tikus. Telescopes was 4-5ft with the odd larger one, Tikus was a good 3-5ft. Telescopes was busy again, but surfing smart at Telescopes is key and a lot of waves still go unridden. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.perfectwavetravel.com\/surf-trips\/indonesia\/mentawai\/aloita-resort-and-spa\"><strong>Aloita Resort<\/strong><\/a> crew again got plenty of waves and after lunch everyone stuck around to surf super fun Tikus.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Oct 5:<\/strong> 10-11ft 208deg @15secs The surf was almost identical sized but super glassy at Telescopes and Tikus was firing again. Not much variety but these were the best options and no-one was complaining.<\/p>\n<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-46139 gallery-columns-4 gallery-size-thumbnail'><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"340\" height=\"242\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.perfectwavetravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/cape-weligama-sri-lanka-31-340x242.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail lazyload\" alt=\"\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.perfectwavetravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/cape-weligama-sri-lanka-31-340x242.jpg 340w, https:\/\/www.perfectwavetravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/cape-weligama-sri-lanka-31-600x426.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.perfectwavetravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/cape-weligama-sri-lanka-31-525x373.jpg 525w, https:\/\/www.perfectwavetravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/cape-weligama-sri-lanka-31-768x546.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.perfectwavetravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/cape-weligama-sri-lanka-31.jpg 853w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 340px) 100vw, 340px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 340px;
