LOCAL BREAK

This region of the Maldives experiences a similar surf season to Indonesia. The best waves can be had from March to October, with the biggest swells likely to occur in June/July/August. During these months the conditions are predominantly off-shore all day and the swell direction is mainly South South East (SSE). The surf generally ranges in size from 2-8 feet.

Over the months of Jun/Jul/August the North Male’ atoll surf breaks get busier. The surf at this time is very consistent and can accommodate a large number of surfers spread-out over the 7 breaks in the atoll. If you are after less crowded conditions Mar/Apr/May/Sep/Oct are recommended. The swell over this period may not be as consistent as Jun-Aug however good waves certainly still exist at this time.

A great variety of reef breaks exist ranging in intensity from quite mellow shreddable walls to gnarlier hollow pits meaning there is something for everyone. In the North Male’ atoll, between Male’ and Thulhusdhoo is an assortment of 7 breaks:

“Jailbreaks” – a classic right-hander with 3 distinct sections including a mid barrel section. Rides of up to 300m can be had when it’s lining up.

“Honky’s” – located near HP reef just north of Himmafushi Island, it is a fast wrapping left at 4-6ft.

“Sultans” – an easy right-hand take off which leads you to an intense wrapping section at the end. Breaks 3-8ft.

“Ninjas” – 20 minutes further north, a right-hander which breaks off Kani Resort.

“Lohis” – directly opposite Kani Resort, a long left-hander that breaks off Lohifushi Resort – very consistent wave.

25 minutes north of Lohifushi are 2 breaks opposite each other at a reef pass. The right-hander “Cokes (Colas)” breaks 3-10ft and will test your tube-riding ability. The left-hander “Chickens” is probably the fastest wave in the North Male atoll. This wave holds swell size from 3ft to well over 10ft and provides rides up to 500m long.
