The population figure given for South Pagai in the box to the right is for South Pagai District alone; the south portion of Sikakap District (which covers the southern part of North Pagai Island and the northern part of South Pagai Island, together with various small islands in the strait between the two) is largely unpopulated.

The September 2007 Sumatra earthquakes were located near these islands, producing coastal uplift, enlarging nearby islands and even producing six new ones.[1] The 2010 Mentawai earthquake and tsunami also struck off its southwest coast, causing a tsunami.

Surf breaks

This article contains wording that promotes the subject in a subjective manner without imparting real information. (August 2021)

South Pagai and its surrounding outer islands include surf breaks. The surf breaks in this region were affected during the 2007 seismic event where the reefs raised around 6 feet in the southernmost tip of Mentawai. Due to this, the surf breaks were altered, and new surf breaks were added.

The breaks in the area include:

• "Roxy's Right" (a.k.a. Coldsprings),
• "Rag's Left",
• "Rag's Right",
• "Buddha's Left",
• "Thunders Left",
• "Thunders Right",
• "Yellowstones Left and Right"(a.k.a. "IDK's" a.k.a. "Dracula's"),
• "Bangkok's Left",
• "Lighthouse Rights",
• "McFrights Left" (a.k.a. "Hole"),
• "Moots",
• "Sneaky Peak",
• "Meat Locker"

Breaks are currently accessible by surf charter boat only, and due to the distance required to travel to the South Pagai region, they are frequented by fewer operators.
