The Republic of the Maldives or Maldives is an island nation, consisting of twenty six atolls. These coral islands of superb natural beauty lie in the Indian Ocean and are considered part of Southern Asia. Maldives enjoy a tropical climate, with temperatures around 30 °C/86 °F all year round. However, there is a rainy season, the southwest monsoon that lasts from May till November and brings strong winds and storms. Maldives is an idyllic paradise that welcomes visitors from all over the world, promising unforgettable holiday experiences!

The water quality, the big chances of barrels and the long, fun waves make Maldives a one of a kind surfing destination! Most of the sites are accessible only by boat, but as they are close to each other, it is easy to find the surf break that suits you best. The North Male atoll boasts the most popular surf breaks in Maldives. Sultans is considered by many as a surf site that never closes out.

It is situated on the uninhabited island of Thaburudhoo, next to Hunky’s surf spot. Sultans is an exposed reef break that offers totally epic waves. The take off section is behind the peak, which makes an open wall for some slashing. The swell size starts working at 1-1.5 m/3-5 ft and holds up to 3 m/10 ft. The ideal surf period is from March till October. In addition, the best tide position is all tides and the ideal tide movement is rising and falling tides. Offshore winds blow from the north and northwest and the ideal swell direction is from the south. At summer the wind blows offshore 12%, at autumn it blows 24%, at winter 35% and at spring 44%.

Note that there are specialized companies that organize boat trips in the area, providing the opportunity to surf in more than one spots on the same day. Last but not least, be careful of rocks.
