Surfing at Central Atolls Boat Charter
The surf charters to the
Central Atolls are great for all surfers who can catch un-broken waves and bottom turn. Due to the mellow nature of these waves, they are perfect for really improving, long perfect walls, tropical sunshine and 28c water. Sounds amazing and it is!
In the central atolls of the Maldives islands, standard waves are long clean rights with size varying between shoulder and head high. During the summer (April-October), it's never flat. We discovered 15 potential spots we are all classic waves, and totally uncrowded!
Here are some surf spots to Google! Yin Yang (Right), Mada's (Left), Mushroom rock (Right), Tsumami rights (Right), Tsumami lefts (Left), Bedhuge (Right), Langon Bank (Right); Shirukandu (Left); Mikado (Right), Finnimas (Left), Footaru (Peak), Hirifaru (Peak), Bowling Alley (Left); Biddies (Right), Bibeacons (Right).
Shallow conditions for barrels can be found but even these are surfed over pretty even and soft coral reef. You can expect a few 6-10ft swells during monsoon time.
The majority of surf breaks on and around Meemu, are East facing, which makes this an ideal spot in the predominate south west winds. The nice thing about the Central Atolls is how close the spots are to each other, so finding good surf is easy. The Thaa Atoll picks up south east swell and may be even bigger than spots on east facing coastlines of other atolls. Due to its secluded location it is almost guaranteed that you will not even spot another surf charter during your stay. The spots are well protected from North to Northwest winds. Conditions may be fickle with other wind directions. This area will be chosen only in very stable weather conditions. Spots in the Laamu Atoll are spread from the south facing coastline along the east facing up to the north east corner where waves wrap around. As a result you will find spots protected from all wind directions except a rare straight easterly breeze.
This summer jump on board our exclusively chartered Maldives boat to the remote surf breaks of the central atolls. Your guide, Chris Thomson is BSA level 4 surf coach (elite coach), will be on hand to provide you with useful tips. The tour leaves on the 19th August 2010 and returns on the 1st September. Numbers are limited to 8 surfers to allow for maximum wave count!
The boat trip in the Central Maldives focus around the islands of The Meemu, Thaa and Laamu Atoll, here waves are typically fun right hand point breaks, with a number of left breaking waves. All very fun, and suitable for all surfers. The surf around the Central Maldives is not super powerful, but provides the odd chance of a barrel and long fun walls. The surf is typically shoulder to head high which make these trips ideal for all intermediate and advanced surfers.
