LOCATION & GETTING HERE
LOCATION
Surfing South
It is often said that the Gaafu Dhaalu Atoll (also named Huvadhoo Atoll) offers the best conditions of the Maldives. It works best in March, April and September to November. But it picks up more swell than any other Atoll in the Maldives, and from every direction, all season long. The Gaafu Dhaalu area offers the greatest quantity and variety of spots outside of Male Atolls, without the crowds. To almost every island on the outside of the Atoll, you will find one or two breaks. There is everything from barreling and hollow walls to soft and never-ending playful waves.
Surfing Central
Meemu, Dhaalu, Thaa and Laamu Atolls offer spots exposed to all directions and for all levels. All spots in the Meemu Atoll are on a coastline, facing to the east. Inside F1 is the pick of this atoll and is a perfect, fun long right that stretches into the channel. The Thaa Atoll picks up south-west swell and may be even bigger than spots on east facing coastlines of other atolls.This area will be chosen only in very stable weather conditions. Farms and Chambers are the pick in Thaa and the backdrop is jar droppingly beautiful with the islands still uninhabitable. Spots in the Laamu Atoll are spread, from the south facing coastline, along the east facing up to the north-east corner, where waves wrap around. Machines is our pick here and this perfect mechanical right is a barrel machine on its day. We also like to spend an afternoon visiting Six Senses Resort for a cocktail or two when surfing Ying Yangs.
