Surfing<br />

Today surfing is the fastest growing water sport in the country, with several surf breaks that<br />

are documented and well-known by surf enthusiasts. The most important surf event is the<br />

annual international surf event which has placed <strong>Maldives</strong> firmly on the world’s surf map.<br />

Surfing Season<br />

The best season to surf in the <strong>Maldives</strong> is the South-<br />

west Monsoon from April to October. Surfers are most<br />

likely to enjoy the biggest swells from June to Septem-<br />

ber. The surf generally ranges in size from 3-8 feet.<br />

Surfing Breaks<br />

The best known surf breaks are in the North and South<br />

Male’ Atoll and most surfers stay in resorts close to<br />

these breaks. However cruise operators offer spe-<br />

cialized surfing cruises, that give you the opportunity<br />

to test some of the less known surf breaks in the atolls<br />

further away from Male’ Atoll.<br />
