THE SURF
Thulusdhoo Guesthouse faces Coke’s on Thulusdhoo island. You can see Chickens and Cokes from most of the premises (meal tables, garden area, Balcony lounge). Cola’s or Coke’s is a worldclass right, probably the most tubular wave in North Malé atoll, being well exposed to swells and winds. There is always surf there but S-SW winds can be side / onshore, W-NW is good / perfect. In summer (March-April and Oct-Nov to some extent), Coke’s is always 1ft bigger than Sultan’s, which makes it the greatest wave in North Malé at this period of the year.

On the other side of the pass, Chicken’s left stands a super playful wave, that can be ridden for 500m and as big as 8-10ft face. Theoretically, you could paddle across but best is to take a short dingy ride (10 USD to be paid there). You can also ask the dingy to take you to other spots like Sultan’s and it’ll cost 25 USD both ways.
