The best period for surfing in the Maldives is the Southern Hemisphere winter, which lasts from March till October.  During this period, the roaring forties cause storms which bring the largest swells to the archipelago. The biggest waves are likely to occur in June, July and August. During this period, the wind is mainly offshore all day long.

This paradise is exposed to the same swells as Indonesia is, except that its higher latitude and its South-East exposure offers cooler and less hardcore surfing. The typical Maldive wave rolls up more like a Point Break than a rectilinear wall. A small tube arises from time to time, prompting manoeuvres especially when the size oscillates  between 3 and 6 feet.

There is a wave for every taste! The reef is far from being aggressive, for it is dead and much flatter than its Indonesian cousin. It is rare to touch the bottom unless you surf it by very strong low tide  coefficient.

Surfing in the Maldives is tempered by the North-East and South-West monsoons. During the North-East monsoon (from  February ‘til April), conditions are optimal in the "South Outer Atolls". From May to October, during the South-West  monsoon, the best surfing area is in the "North Atoll Male".

Surf the Maldives, it's the perfect surfing destination, with great consistent waves amongst tropical beaches, reefs and idealic surrounds, all which adds up to a fantastic surfing get away. The Maldives are an ideal location for  almost all surfing standards with it possible to find a wave at most times of the seasons to suit most beginners to  the seriously advanced.

While the resorts offer you the chance to relax on land and surf their exclusive waves or those that are located nearby, charter boats are also a great option that give you the access to more breaks, a greater array of waves and  they allow you to escape the crowds!  As time goes by, more and more waves are being ridden and becoming known to the general surfing public. Not only are  the North & South Male atolls surfed these days. Further a field with far greater options of uncrowded waves can be  found in the Central and Southern Maldives as well as the far Northern Maldives.

Trip Concept has a wide range of options to suit most budgets whether it be charter boats or resorts. Trip Concept is one of the best and most experienced travel agents in Maldives, with two decade of experience, the management handles  the operation smooth and best, and as flexible as waves.

North Male Atoll:  The Northern Atoll of Male is the most famous surfing area in the Maldives. The density of  spots in this location is very high. At approximately half an hour from the airport, you will find the first spot named Jailbreaks. From then on, there is: Honky’s, Sultans, Pasta  Not, Ninja, Lohis, Cokes and Chickens are spread out over about twenty  kilometres.

Jailbreaks:  It’s been only 2 years that its access has been authorized:In reality you are surfing right in front of the Maldives’national jail. It is now possible to surf this fantastic right-hander. Hollow, fast with a steep take off, the wave becomes better with the rising tide. Starting from 6 feet, Jailbreaks will reveal all of its potential.

Honky's: On the same island as Sultans, is an ideal spot for winter, which goes on with a North-East wind. This left completely marries the reef’s form in a semi-circular shape. The swell rolls up there so well that the second section, the Ledge, forms a wall even larger than the peak. When the conditions are met, it is a true World Class.

Sultans: If Honky's is onshore, then Sultans will be offshore. An easy right-hander with an inside a little faster. It is one of the most consistent waves and there will always be something to surf.

Pasta Point: Opposite Sultans, another beautiful left-hander. It’s possible that you’ll feel  unwelcome here. Indeed, the surf camp called Tari Village is apparently holding exclusive rights to its access . However, the Maldivian water  regulation s stipulate that nobody holds any rights over the ocean.

Ninjas:  Located twenty minutes up North. Presumably named because it’s one of the favourite waves of the Japanese surfers. It is a right-hander, not a Point Break, a little soft for the long boarders or beginners. It breaks in front of Kani Resort or Med Club.

Lohis: Opposite Ninjas, on the Lohifushi Resort’ Island, a very long consistent left. Because of the proximity of the surfing camp, this wave can quickly be very crowded. It’s there that the WQS 6 stars O' Neil surfing contest has  taken place over the last few years.

Cokes:  Twenty minutes North, certainly one of the best waves in all the archipelago and without a doubt, another world  class break. It is a hollow and tubular right-hander that backdoors on the reef. It’s probably the most photographed wave of the North Male Atoll. There, you can test your ability in the tube. It will be bigger here than elsewhere  because of its orientation. Unfortunately, this wave is more sensitive to the prevailing South-West wind than Jailbreaks and Sultans that will always be offshore.

Chickens: In the same channel than Cokes. Another amazing left-hander. The fastest wave of the area. The bigger, the better. Receives also more swell than elsewhere. The point can be tubular with a very long shoulder in the second section.
