Maldives Surfing Season

The Maldives surfing season is very similar to the surfing season of Indonesia; the best waves can be found between March and October, with the biggest waves found between June and August.

Maldives Surfing Waves

Waves in the Maldives are usually between 4 and 8 feet high, but sometimes they can get bigger.  Many of the Maldives surfing breaks are reef breaks, which can be either very mellow or totally gnarly, dude! There are many classic left and right breaks.  One of the great things about surfing in the Maldives is that the water is so clear and so warm, you can spend hours in the waves without getting cold and you can always see the reefs and rocks before you smash into them!  At some of the more popular surfing spots in the Maldives, the waves can get pretty crowded, but if you go on a surfing charter, similar to the scuba diving liveaboard charters, you can get to some pretty isolated waves that will definitely impress you.  The best surfing in the Maldives can be found at Jailbreaks, a fantastic right-hander in the North Male Atoll and Sultan’s, an easy right-hander also in North Male Atoll.

Maldives Surfing Tournaments

The Maldives has been the proud host of the internationally-renowned O’Neill Deep Blue Surfing Tournament for the last three years.  Ever since being chosen as the host of the O’Neill Tournament, Maldives surfing has grown in popularity exponentially.

Maldives Surfing Conditions

Maldives surfing conditions are excellent, although the swell can be a little small for those surfers who are looking for total madness in the water.  the swell ranges from 2-10 feet, with the  highest swells in July-August and the lowest in December-January.  Generally speaking, average Maldives surfing swell size is about 4-6 feet.  As far as water temperature is concerned, the Maldives is unbeatable.  The water stays between 23 and 28 degrees celsius all year round, meaning you don’t need a wetsuit and can spend a really long time surfing in the Maldives without getting cold.
