Lohifushi - Hudhuran Fushi Luxury Surf Resort - Maldives, Northern Atolls. Maldives

If you wish to surf booking the Surf pass is mandatory. Our Resort has implemented a Sustainable Surf Management Plan – In order to enhance the surfing experience and improve service levels to the surfers as well as keep the waves uncrowded, the resort restricts the maximum surfers on the island per day to 45.  On a typical day we have about 20 guests out on our three boats surfing the other breaks nearby, and the remaining 20 or so enjoying the Lohis. 

A Surf guide is available on duty from 6AM until 7PM every day. The guests then have a big decision to make – should they surf Lohis or do they want to go on one of our three surf boats to the other waves nearby! Our surf boats are large, safe and shaded and are fun for the non-surfers too. Trips are guided and departures are guaranteed.

Packages with Surf Pass can only be purchased through an authorised Surf Travel Agency like Nomad Surfers. The room rates are inclusive of Surf Pass. This means the guests are entitled to surf Lohis (perfect wave out the front) as well as take Dhoni Surf Boat trips. Each guest will be given a “Surf pass” Colored wrist band.

A minimum of three Dhoni boats will be available at all times. Maximum 12 people per dhoni for the surf trips to the 6 surf spots within 30 minutes from Hudhurafushi resort. No more than one Hudhuranfushi boat will be at same spot at same time in order to avoid overcrowding of the waves .

The surf season in Maldives is March until November.

March and April generally has small to mid sized waves with beautiful weather and light winds. The surf is rarely bigger than head high but it is consistently 3-4ft and perfect. By April you can expect good waves most days and exceptional condition.

May and June are known for slightly bigger waves, with surf in the 3-5ft range most days. This is when the surf season starts.

July and August is the time of the biggest and best swells of the year. We will have waves in the 2-5ft range everyday, with the good possibility of swells up to 8ft a couple times a month. 

September The biggest swells are gone but there are still waves every day.

October and November  have great waves with very few surfers in the water. A great time to visit if you don’t want big waves, but you do want good waves and no crowd!

Lohis is a long left breaking over a flat reef in front of the Lohi’s bar and Restaurant. The water is so clear it is like surfing in an aquarium with Dolphins, Turtles and mantas regularly encountered in the waves! Lohis is surf-able with almost any combination of swell/wind and tide but it is best with a good S/SE swell and light W/NW winds at mid tide. Typically Lohis picks up any swell in the area, so it is a great place to be based if you want the best chance to surf every day. There are two or three different sections to surf so the guests can spread out and really enjoy the luxury of surfing an un-crowded perfect wave.

Hudhuranfushi is perfectly positioned between the waves of Chickens and Cokes to the North and Sultans, Honkies and Jails to the South. We also have Ninjas just across the channel. We have three boats (local style Maldivian Dhonis) available with regular departures to the wave of your choice.

Ninjas: 5 mins just across the channel from Lohis is a playful right-hander. A great fun option for a relaxing session. Possibly the easiest wave in the region. Best on a 2-4ft S/SE swell with W wind.

Sultans: Just 20 mins South from Hudhuranfushi. A fun, playful, right-hander that has many different sections. Sultans is one of the most consistent waves in the area with a ride-able wave virtually everyday of the Maldivian Surf Season (Mid March – late Oct). At 2-5ft it is very “user friendly” and a great introduction to surfing over reef, with long walls and the occasional easy barrel section. As it gets bigger the inside section really turns on and the wave is transformed into a truly world class barrel, though the outside take off remains easy.

Honkys: One of the best lefts in the Maldives breaks off the same island as Sultans, however it’s very fickle needing light winds and no current to produce a long wrapping left that actually increases in size as you go down the line. A “must surf” wave if we see it breaking! The outside section is an easy take-off onto a long wall that speeds up towards the end section.

Jails: 30 mins South from Hudhuranfushi. Tropical J-Bay is how Jails is sometimes described! When it’s on it’s a long, perfect, multiple section right, that has to be surfed to be believed! Even when it’s not lining up perfectly it’s still a really good wave with good barrel sections and carve-able walls over a flat reef. Many guests return to the Maldives year after year after falling in love with this perfect wave!

Cokes: 25mins to the North from Hudhuranfushi.In a good solid S/SE-S/SW groundswell Cokes can have some of the biggest barrels in the Maldives. A powerful right, that gets progressively shallower on the inside. Needs a light W/NW wind to really open up. Experienced surfers only.

Chickens: A long perfect left! From 2ft -5ft multiple section racetrack that seems to go on and on. When it’s 6ft+ the inside section is a heavy barrel that is make or break! Best in a S/SE swell with moderate tides and light winds. The longest wave in the regionwith multiple take-off zones.
