surfing in maldives

Surfing is fast becoming a popular sport among holiday makers visiting Maldives . Maldives has gained world recognition as a great surfing destination after it hosted the famous O'Neill deep blue Surfing tournament 3 years in a row.
In its formation, each of the Maldivian islands is blessed with a natural house reef for the protection of the island. All waves which form in the surrounding oceans break on to these reefs, making it an ideal choice for surfers to show their flair.
May to October is the best time to enjoy surfing in the Maldives.
Surf Spots in North Male’ Atoll
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.

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.

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.
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.
