The Maldives is fast becoming an important surf destination. The O’Neil Deep Blue international surf competition has now become a regular annual event participated by the best known names in the surfing world.

While most of the recognized surf breaks are in Male’ Atoll, several known breaks are dotted in the central atolls. Although breaks in Male’ Atoll can be surfed from a resort the breaks further out can only be accessed on a surfing safari. The good news is there is still more to be discovered.

Surfing Season
The southwest monsoon from May to October is brings windy and blustery weather, but provides the best conditions for surfing.
