THE SURF
Gaafu Dhaalu Atoll
It is said that the Gaafu Dhaalu Atoll is prone to fickle conditions during the time from May to August and offers world class conditions only in March, April and September to November. But this can not be confirmed neither by official wind statistics nor by our own experience. Right hander spots on the south facing coastline are always very well protected from typical north west to west-southwest winds. It is also rare that the wind blows from the wrong direction and strong enough to impact wave quality for the whole time of a day. But even if we experienced strong southerlies we are always able to visit spots on the east facing coastline that are as well protected as all other spots on the maldives. It may happen that you will experience a few hours downtime but you can be sure that you will have basically all spots for yourself for the whole trip!
"Kaededhdhoo or Airports" Righthander
is fun when the swell is large. As it is on the west side of the atoll it doesnt receive as much swell as the other breaks. Lucky Punters will score good at Airports with a strong S-SW swell and NE wind.
"Beacons" or "Barracuda Point" Righthander
2 hrs away from the airport, at the first southern reef pass. Touted as the Maldive's gutsiest wave, Beacons powerful rights tube onto a shallow, unforgiving reef. SW swells will break down the reef, but a SE swell will create peaks slamming straight onto close-out sections of coral. Beacons is flanked by an unnamed left across the channel, which have its days in a big swell and tend to go unridden.
"Dhigulaabadhoo/ Castaways" Lefthander
across the channel from beacons we call it dhiraagu after the phone company in the maldives as the island is shaped like a phone. a sort of fat ride on the takeoff and if the swell direction is right can link up with another section on the inside where it produces a bit more speed and power, needs same wind as beacons and can be surfed on all tides.plenty of marine life around here common to see whale sharks.
"Blue Bowls" or "Voodoos" Righthander
Blue Bowls is the most flexible right, tucked inside the pass and protected from SW-W Winds. More of a point style wave, it has good a length of ride and nice bowly sections for performance moves. All swells, all tides and all sizes.
"Gani Point" or "Five Islands" Righthander
Five Islands is another righthander that breaks hard and hollow on the shallow reef inside. The eoutside section encourages deep takeoffs into racy walls and handles the biggest swells at all tides.
"Booga Reef" or "Two Ways" Right+Lefthander
Left and righthander - with the right usually coming up better but it needs a big swell to hit its protected position, making it at favourite with intermediates. Fun, peeling, long walls with a bit of depth to the water.
"Love Charms" Lefthander
are actually several reliable lefts, which can handle E winds and any size of swell. Low tide is the best when it is small, soft and broken into two distinct sections. Bigger swell morph into a long, hollow wall, with protected pockets.
"Rockets" or "Tiger Stripes" Lefthander
Named after the narrow gouges in the reef that give a striped effect, Tigers has some real growling left in a strong swell. Tricky take offs into a long speedy wall before committing to an inside tube section that wraps and peters out in the channel. Unimpressive when small, it always seems to be bigger than everywhere else. All tides, all variations of S Swells and and any N Wind.
"KH"
KH is almost east coast and the two distinct take off spots link together in bigger swell and tide conditions.
"Koodhoo and Viligili" Right+Lefthanders.
East facing spots. Very well protected from dominant westerly winds.

THE LOCATION
THE MALDIVES
Geography - The Maldives is a chain of 26 coral atolls southwest of Sri Lanka, extending across the equator in a north-south strip 754km (468mi) long and 118km (73mi) wide. The 1192 low-lying coral islands are so small that dry land makes up less than 4% of the country's total territory. Some islands are uninhabited sandbars with a patch of scrub, while others are several kilometers across and quite well vegetated.
The Climate - of the Maldives is warm year round, determined by the monsoons. The temperature of Maldives ranges between 26°C/79F and 33°C/90F throughout the year. Although the humidity is relatively high, the constant sea breezes help to keep the air moving. Water temperatures remain about 26°C/80F year-round.
