great wave
Surfed it May 06. Had it about head high, and the swell was a little bit lumpy, but even then it was sick. Had every thing from barrels to nice wackable sections, and ran off for about 150-200m.

Very good but crowded
Scarecrows gets very crowded with boats these days, just like everywhere else in the Mentawais, but it handles the crowds not too bad because you get wide sets and the main peak shifts a bit. Some waves barrel nicely, others shut down-its a lottery-but its a damn good wave nevertheless, with everything on offer-walls, barrels, faces, big cutbacks etc. When its bigger you can pick up inside barrels that can be better than the outside. Breaks over about 150m when bigger, and works on any tide, dead low is gnarly. Probably best at 4-8 feet.

read me
this wave is alright, but more of an overflow spot like. Come here when there are no people, and get whatever wave you want...want to find a new break, i know the place, email me and let's make it happen. This is no joke, name your time, place and price...

scarecrows rules
this wave rules! when you go to the mentawais make sure you tell your captain to go here! and don't worry if it's not good one day, it might be good the next, it's worth hanging out and catching, it's the most underrated wave out there, better than maccaronis!
