Surf Maavahi – Outer Atolls
The Huvadhoo and Addu Atolls, referred to as the Outer Atolls, are located in the most southern area of the Maldives. This remote, south-facing coastline is hit with clean southerly swells all year round. While wave size is generally smaller than the more northerly atolls, here you’ll have an opportunity to stumble upon Maldivian surf perfection.
The best known waves in the Outer Atolls are Beacons, Castaways and Tiger Stripes. Beacons and Tiger Stripes are well-known as two of the most powerful waves in the Maldives, fast and barreling above shallow reef.
For the best conditions early (March to May) and late (September to November) season are the best times to book a surf charter to the Outer Atolls, with empty waves and more consistent swell.
Beacons/Barracuda Point
Beacons is one of the most powerful and hollowest waves in the Maldives. This south-facing right-hander picks up plenty of swell, with an easy take-off and long down-the-line inside section.
Kaadedhdhoo
A right-hander off the island of Kaadedhdhoo, on which the airport is located. This wave is super fun in bigger conditions, but generally doesn’t receive as much swell as other breaks in the area.
Dhigulaabadhoo
Just across from Beacons, this left-hander off Dhigulaabadhoo Island can be a little fat, but given the right swell direction it can be fast and powerful. There is a lot of marine life in this area, keep an eye out for the local whale sharks.
Blue Bowls
This is a fun, long right-hander that works best at between 4 to 6 ft. It performs best on mid-tide and is protected in south/south-west winds.
Castaways
A right-hander over shallow reef that can only be surfed on high tide. In bigger swells, over 4 ft, it breaks out the back and links up through to the inside.
Ghani Point/Five Islands
Gani Point is a right-hander that can be very hollow on mid-tide. It’s protected in south/south-west winds and offers up long, clean rides.
Booga Reef/Two Ways
A peak off a bombie in the middle of a channel, Booga reef is hollow, but fun. The right is more consistent, but needs a west/north-west wind for protection.
Love Charms
A fun wave, Love Charms can be surfed on all tides and breaks between 2 to 10 ft. Surfers can expect nice tubes on the inside of this Maldivian right-hander.
Tiger Stripes/Rockets
Tiger Stripes, also known as Rockets, is a long left-hander with long rideable walls. This wave picks up plenty of swell and can be surfed on all tides and is best in west/north winds.
