About the Maldives

Despite being the smallest nation in the world in terms of population and area, the Maldives also happens to be the lowest country in the world, with an altitude rising to an average of just about one and a half meters above sea level. Do you want to know where the highest peak is? It's only about 2.3 meters, to be precise! This year's temperatures are consistent with those of the previous year, ranging between 29 to 32 degrees Celsius during the daytime and 25 - 26 degrees Celsius in the evening. The Maldives has a tropical climate that is separated into 2 seasons, each of which is distinguished by 2 monsoons.

Points for surfing 

Reef breaks come in a variety of shapes and sizes, ranging from smooth coral walls to harder hollow dry holes. When it comes to surfing here in the Maldives, there are options for all from beginners to pros! While it might become crowded at times, you could get away from it all in order to enjoy several of the warmest and clearest blue seas you'll ever see. 

 The Maldives do have similar waves that hit Indonesia, thus surfing in both places is quite comparable! The Maldives, on the other hand, have less latitude than Indonesia. You ought to be informed of three important surfing areas here in the Maldives:

1) The South and North Male Atolls are best visited during the South-West Monsoon seasons, which runs from May to December. The waves are at their highest from May through to August. 

2) Central Atolls are known for their long, smooth waves that range in height from around 3 to 6 feet. 

3) The months from February to April, as well as September to November, are ideal for a surfing vacation in the Southern Atolls.

Tides and Currents  

The Maldives' surfing conditions are heavily influenced by tides and currents. The atolls' small canals are home to all of the surf breakers. The currents in the channels may be exceedingly powerful. During the southwest monsoon seasons, waves crash onto the atolls' external reef making it suitable for surfing. The swell lines are appropriate for all tides, and the swells are uniform in shape, making it great for beginners! This gives the Maldives the reputation of being a great destination for beginners and professionals alike.

How to Dive Around the Maldives? 

While some resorts have fantastic dive sites close, liveaboard diving offers the most marine richness and variation. These cruise holidays are in high demand, so book early to secure your spot. During the busy seasons in the Maldives, we suggest booking at least six months in advance, since last-minute accommodation is rare.
