Surfing, The Maldives

Maldivians have been surfing using planks for a long time. It has always been popular as it has some of the best surfing points in the world. There are some great surfing spots in the country, with some of the spots accessible from resorts, while the best breaks are on the outer reefs on the southeast sides of the atolls. The surf season coincides with the southwest monsoon and runs from February to November. March and April provide a combination of excellent surfing and weather conditions; there will be consistent surf up to 12 feet. Maldives activities, which are now gaining popularity, can be accessed by means of a well-equipped surf charter cruise or resorts in these areas which are well geared for surfing can organize special surfing cruises.
