HAVEYLI - The best budget North Malé

Alcohol can also be purchased onboard at reasonable prices. - Boat built 22nd March 1997 Accommodation Meals Transport
NORTH AND SOUTH MALÉ ATOLLS The Maldives experiences a similar surf season to Indonesia. The best waves can be had from March to October, with the biggest swells likely to occur in June/July/August. During these months the conditions are predominantly off-shore all day and the swell direction is mainly South South East (SSE). The surf generally ranges in size from 2-8 feet, however bigger days have been experienced. A great variety of reef breaks exist ranging in intensity from quite mellow shreddable walls to gnarlier hollow pits. There is something for everyone. In the North Malé atoll, between Malé and Thulhusdhoo there is an assortment of 7 different breaks. Jailbreaks is a classic right-hander that was previously off limits. A long down the line right-hander with 3 distinct sections including a mid barrel section. Rides of up to 300m can be had when its lining up. Honky’s is located near HP Reef just north of Himmafushi Island. It is a fast wrapping left at 4-6 ft and needs the right swell direction. Worth checking if Sultans is crowded. On the other side of the channel you have Sultans. An easy right-hand take-off which leads you to an intense wrapping section at the end. Breaks 3-8 ft. Please note: this wave is the most protected from the southerly winds in the North Malé atoll and collects the most swell – so go there if it is small. 20 minutes further north you will find the right-hander known as Ninjas which breaks off Kani Resort. A mellower right-hander which can be quite fickle. Directly opposite Kani Resort you have Lohis, a long whackable left-hander that breaks off Hudhuran Fushi Resort. A very consistent wave which has hosted the WQS O’Neill Deep Blue Open several times. 25 minutes north of Lohifushi are 2 breaks opposite each other at a reef pass. The right-hander known as Cokes Colas breaks 3-10 ft and is fairly protected from the southerly winds that may affect other breaks such as Lohis. This wave has been well photographed and is the hollowest in the North Malé atoll. This will test your tube-riding ability. The left-hander known as Chickens is probably the fastest wave in the North Malé atoll. This wave holds swell size from 3 ft to well over 10 ft and provides rides up to 500m long. Over the months of June/July/August the North Malé atoll surf breaks are getting busier due to the European summer holidays. Many nationalities of surfers flock to the Maldives over this period. The surf at this time is very consistent and can accommodate a large number of surfers spread-out over the 7 breaks in the atoll. If you are after less crowded conditions Mar/Apr/May/Sep/Oct are recommended. The swell over this period may not be as consistent as June-August however good waves certainly still exist at this time. The South Malé atoll also several great set-ups that on large swells will be 2’ smaller than North Malé breaks, however without the crowd factor. Our surf-guides have experience in this region and can make recommendations accordingly. It is only a 2 hour trip from North Malé atoll breaks to the South Malé atoll breaks. Maluku atoll is only an overnight trip from Malé
and hosts an excellent right-hander, Boahuraa,
and another left, Mulah Kandu. These breaks have
been rarely surfed and perfect waves usually go unridden whilst
the higher profile northern breaks are being surfed by a multitude
of international surfers.
