Lance's Right surf guide

Lance's Right, also known as HT’s, is a surf spot located in the Mentawai Islands. It has gained a reputation among surfers for its stunning waves and somewhat challenging conditions. The spot features a coral platform that attracts those looking for an exciting ride. This place is definitely for experienced surfers, as the waves can be unforgiving.

The waves at Lance's Right are primarily right-handers, breaking over live coral. The optimal swell direction is from the SouthWest, but it can also handle south swells. You can expect decent conditions when the swell sizes reach around 6-8 feet (approximately 1.8-2.4 meters), with a preference for mid to high tides. The best wind conditions are light winds from the West, which help clean up the surf and maintain the wave quality. However, be prepared for the crowd, as this spot can get busy, and you'll need to know what you're doing to navigate these powerful waves.

One thing to keep in mind is that you’ll need to be on your game. The best opportunities for scoring solid waves come during particular tide heights, and the sharp coral can pose risks if you fall. So, make sure you know how to handle duck diving and always plan your entry over the reef to reach the deeper paddling channel. Overall, it’s a spot that rewards skill and patience.
