Maldives Surf Trips in North & South Malé Atolls



North & South Malé atolls are arguably the heart of the surf in Maldives. With up to 20 breaks within a 2h radius (by dhoni, expect 30min dy speedboat), that's the highest density you can expect.

North Malé is where you're most likely to get good size surf but that's where crowds can get thick. If you're not an experienced surfer, you'd probably better off going South Malé for a much lower crowd pressure. But that would only be monsoon time (May 15 - Sept15).
