The seas around the Maldivian archipelago are ideal for surfing – it has some of the world’s best waves and endless surf breaks. The swell is very consistent in the seas around Maldives providing super surfing consistently. The Maldivian surfing season is dependent on the Atolls but much of the archipelago has good surfing conditions from April to October. March and November are best to surf. Maldives resort means the ultimate in comfort. The over the water luxury and deluxe villas at Anantara Veli Maldives Resort and Spa will cushion surfing enthusiasts in chic comfort while providing all facilities for safe and happy surfing for all ages.
Maldivian Resorts are fully equipped to give surfers the best and most are kid friendly and will have programs for kids to learn surfing in the safe waters around the Maldive islands.
The entire Maldivian Archipelago can be divided into three different surf areas, namely Male Atolls, Central and South Atolls. The best breaks for surfing are on the southeaster n sides of the atolls. Many of the surfing spots are close to each other and the best way to reach them is by boat. The Male Atoll can be quite well populated but the Central and South Atolls will give you more privacy as they are not crowded like Male Atoll.
Male Atoll has many surfing spots which are fairly consistent and this is especially so in the prime summer months April – October. March and November can be extremely good for surfing even though they are considered to be transitional months. Chickens, Coke, Honkys and Gurus are some of the great surfing spots in the Male Atoll.
The Maldivian South Atolls are still the last frontier for surfers. The surf spots can be accessed only by charter boats. The Southern Atolls have an extended surfing season from February to November. Special government permits are required for boats to travel to this area. Antiques, Beacons and Castaways are three of the best surfing spots here.
The Central Atolls have a number of world class breaks and Muli, Adonis and Mikado are excellent surf spots in this area.

What better place to feel the wind on your face and soak up the sun than the beautiful surroundings of Maldives. If surfing on the gorgeous blue waves does not entice you then, watching surfers at their incredible sport is sure to lift your spirits. The history of surfing in the Maldives is interesting. Back in the day wooden planks have been used to surf these beautiful waters. However it took a different turn during the 70’s when modern surfing entered the islands, with new equipment and experienced surfers exploring the clear inviting waters. The monsoon circulation largely affects the seasons for surfing in the Maldives. There are noticeable monsoon seasons here. Iruvai as the locals refer to it is the north east monsoon and lasts from December to April and the Hulhangu as the South West monsoon is referred to lasts from May to October.
So book in to a lovely Maldivian resort, wake up to the call of the seagulls and the soft murmur of the balmy island breeze, and surf all day sipping the occasional cocktail, knowing that when dusk comes you retire to a paradise of your own. Really what could be better than this perfect island getaway?
