Swell needs to be really big for this place to get working. on big days you can expect about five to six foot sets. Try and come at high tide, cause the waves are much better and at low tide the reef is exposed and it gets very shallow. Bring booties if you can, this wave usually deposits you on a shallow reef infested with urchins. Can get pretty heavy on big days. there are three breaks on this reef, the main break(closest to the channel), board break(the heavy, fast right down at the point), and the long right in between them. The main break is the most surfable wave and the most crowded. It is a short right about fifty meters long and is the most consistent. Nobody ever goes to board break, it is almost always too fast to surf and it is extremely shallow(the local bodyboarders call it death break.) the right hander in between is about 150 meters long but it is comletely unsurfable because it is so fast. But on big days you can get a nice right that is a more wally and heavier than the main break. you have to wait a bit longer for the right waves but if your patient enough, you can get some 100 meter rides. this spot is pretty shallow, though.
Maldives is a fairly new and emerging destination for surfers. The surf season coincides with the south-west monsoon and runs from mid February to November when the best swells are generated by winter low pressure systems in the southern Indian Ocean. March and April also provide good surfing and have the best weather. The water is warm enough to swim without a wetsuit, though a light suit is a good idea, for protection from the sun and coral. Booties are essential for picking your way over exposed coral reefs, and a helmet is recommended.Surfing in the Maldives provides you with two options; either staying in a resort or booking a live-aboard surfing vacation on a charter cruiser (Safari boat). Resorts provide boats (Dhonis) to transport surfers out beyond the breaks between two to three times per day for two hour periods whereas charters offer surfers the chance to surf the reefs for longer periods.
Wave selection is key. Pick a good one on a SE-E swell and you'll get a J-Bay length gringer. Pick a wrong one and you'll be grinded!
