Maldives Wave: Bowling Alley

Central atolls

Meemu Thaa Laamu Bowling Alley

Bowling Alley

Like your local bowling alley, “Bowling Alley” is the break on the west coast of Thaa Atoll where you can have very good times. It is that reliable deep-water peak that stays in the range of 3-10 feet and remains consistent through any stage of the tide. It breaks best with some east wind during a southwest swell, closing out onto a reef inside the atoll.

This is one of the best spots to find great waves in a truly picturesque setting, a must ride wave during your surf charter even though the right wind conditions  to surf it are difficult to get. If you have ground South West swell with South West wind don’t hesitate and and ask the captain to go to Bowling Alley.

You can return to the main page for the Northern, Central, or Southern Atolls by clicking the buttons on the right. Or you can navigate to any of the breaks within the Southern Atoll region by clicking on the break name below.
