Vodi

Vodi is a world class break that breaks on the Nyama Resort hotel in Dhaalu. You can surf this perfect left only if you stay at the resort.

Kasabu

Kasabu is located on the island of the only local airport you can find in Dhaalu atoll. Conditions are optimal when wind comes from the northwest and swell comes from the south-west. When it is the case, you will see a perfect wave peeling along the reef offering enjoyable rides for all levels of surfers….

Quarter

This is a clean right that you will encounter in South Male, can be very fun with an hollow inside section! Need a good swell to work…

Muli

Muli is the main break you can surf in Meemu. This righthander itself is worth a trip from Male. When it is working well, the ride is endless offering sometimes hollow sections for tubing.

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…

Tiger Stripes

To the northeast of Love Charms, in a narrow inlet between the islands of Gan and Gadhdoo, a lefthander breaks across a reef adorned with narrow gouges that look like stripes on a tiger. Tiger Stripes, sometimes referred to as Rockets, is an open lefthander that doesn’t get as hollow as some of the other…

Antiques

Located in the same inlet between the islands of Gan and Gadhdoo, Antiques matches every left that Tiger Stripes pumps out with a smaller, and more forgiving righthander. As the name indicates, Antiques is slightly less fierce than its nearby sister wave but almost as consistent. Ranging in size between two to six feet, Antiques…

Love Charms

Love Charms is Huvadhoo Atoll’s lovely little patch of lefthanders that you can always count on. Located right next to Two Ways, Love Charms is a love letter to all you goofy footers out there who spent or spend countless hours drawing left-breaking waves in the corner of your notebooks. This place is always breaking,…

Two ways

Booga Reef, called Two Ways because it breaks to the left and the right, is located just across the pass from Five Islands. Really similar to Sultans and Honky’s in North Male Atoll—Two Ways (as the name promises) offers two incredible waves that peel in two different directions from the same southern point of the…

Malik’s

Malik’s is that incredible wave that doesn’t always want to cooperate and located on the inhabited island of Hirilandhoo. Malik’s has its good days and it has its bad days. It is not so much the tide as it is the swell and wind direction. Malik’s loves a south to southwest swell and easterly winds, the…

Five Islands

Similar to Blue Bowls, Five Islands is a long righthander well protected from south to southwest winds. More of a cannon than Blue Bowls, Five Islands throws harder and hollows out more as it breaks along the reef. Breaking in a series of different sections, the wave needs a good southerly swell to combine all…

Outside Mikado

The inside and outside of Mikado are so different they are really considered two different spots. Outside Mikado is a fast and section-filled wave that closes out at the end over some pretty uneven reef. The wave is one of the more powerful in the area, so you definitely want to watch this wave break…

Inside Mikado

Inside Mikado is the perfect wraparound righthander you will find just to the east of Outside Mikado. The wave doesn’t really work on a low tide, meaning it is a little inconsistent, but it has the potential to be a total trip changer when it delivers on a mid to high tide. The waves are…

Finnimas

Finnimas might end up being the reason you pack an extra duplicate board . . . or two. Despite the exposed reef, the barrels at Finnimas keep surfers coming back for more. Like Malik’s, this lefthand wave is also a little “finicky,” though that often results in a righthand wave breaking across the nearby pass,…

Machine

True to its name, Machine is usually the best option in the Laamu Atoll. Although locals will tell you the name is not only because the spot breaks like a machine, but also because it requires machine-like physical conditioning in order to be surfed. The lack of a channel and the high seawall the waves…
