      The Maldives Islands

      The Republic of the Maldives Islands is located on the northern part of the Indian Ocean, just south of the Indian subcontinent.

      About 1,200 Islands stretch at 870 Km from North to South of the equator.

      Its prime location exposes it to constant swells generated from storms in the southern part of the

      ocean. 

      These swells travel hundreds of kilometers north before hitting countless reef breaks that surround the islands.

      The Maldives islands are grouped in Atolls, ring shaped coral reefs on which the islands are located, surrounded by amazing reef passes and lagoons.

      The waves in the Maldives are much friendlier than its neighboring Indonesian archipelago.

      Countless of perfect surf spots are at hand, from shallow reef barreling waves to long and mellow

      peeling pointbreaks, the Maldives is truly a surfer's playground!


      This trip will be directed to the Southern Malé Atolls

      Surfing in Maldives - Male Atolls

      For those who seek less crowded surf it is recommended to visit the South Malé Atoll.

      While Surfing these parts will guarantee a more relaxed atmosphere, it is important to consider that only about 70 % of the swell s energy will reach these spots as the Central Atoll s are blocking it from the south.
