SURF SPOTS IN THE NORTHERN MALDIVES
Jailbreaks The break is located directly on the island, a perfect straight wave. This break is probably the fastest wave in the Maldives with long walls and 3-tube sections.
Sultans A very fast right hand wave that works best with a larger swell and can become very long with the south swell, the best conditions are found with westerly winds and high tide. It is one of the most consistent waves and there will always be something to surf.
Honkys Some consider it to be the best wave in the Maldives. This is a very long left hand wave that can double in the second section. It is a fast left at 4-6ft and needs the right swell direction. A perfect spot for the winter in NE winds.
Ninjas A slow right, good for beginners and long-borders. Best conditions with a W-NW wind and a moderate S swell.
Furana (Tombstones) : These straights are quite inconsistent, until a 2m+ SE swell hits with a 12 sec+ period, turning the spot into one of the best surfing spots in the Maldives.
Cokes It is a right recommended for intermediate surfers or experienced surfers when the swell is strong. The wave is a hollow, tubular right hander that breaks on a shallow reef. It works best with south and northeast winds.
Chicken Wave: A wave located on an uninhabited island next to Thulusdhoo Island. This wave can contain swells from 3 feet to over 10 feet and offers ripples up to 500m long.
For two people (twin/double)
From March until the end of October you can enjoy yourself in one of the most beautiful places to surf in the world!
