Surfing in the Maldives

A key player in the international surfing scene, this trendy destination promises you an unforgettable experience. Discover a unique and unmissable setting for surfing in the Maldives, thanks to its turquoise waters, its white beaches and especially it's remarkable waves ranging from 1 to 4.5 meters during the summer months. With a reef a little more forgiving than in Indonesia or Polynesia, excitement is ensured for both beginners and experienced surfers.

- April to October: The reef in the Maldives is suitable for all skill levels.

- July to August (Peak Season): During this time, the southwest monsoon brings the largest swells, offering experienced surfers seeking powerful waves the perfect opportunity.

- November to March: During the dry season, waves are quieter, but keep a board handy so you don't miss an opportunity.
