April to October (southwest swell season) — peak swells and most consistent waves. Shoulder months March and November can also produce good conditions.

Tropical maritime climate: warm year‑round (average air 26–31°C / 79–88°F). Wet season and biggest swells occur during the southwest monsoon (roughly May–September) with short heavy showers; drier conditions in the northeast monsoon (December–March).

No entry fees for natural surf spots themselves. General visitor requirements: Maldives offers a free 30‑day tourist visa on arrival for most nationalities; surf charters and day‑boat trips often charge per person or per boat — budget for transfer and guide fees. Surfing is possible daylight hours; there are no formal opening hours for the break.

Nearest international gateway: Velana International Airport (Male). Typical transfer: speedboat or charter from Male to Thulusdhoo (approx 30–60 minutes depending on boat); public ferry is slower and less reliable for surf schedules. Many surf operators run daily boat transfers or full‑day charters from Male or nearby surf hubs. Local regulations: alcohol is available on some guesthouses and surf camps but not in inhabited islands’ shops — respect local customs and rules when on land.

3–7 days on Thulusdhoo or in a surf camp to make the most of variable swell windows; longer stays for surf‑focused travelers (7–14 days) increase chances of scoring prime conditions.

Reef booties (for shallow takeoffs), sturdy surf leash, small/medium longboard or shortboard depending on skill and conditions, rashguard or thin Lycra (sun protection), reef‑safe sunscreen, light tropical clothing for onshore wear, basic first‑aid kit for reef cuts.

Try Maldivian dishes such as mas huni (tuna with coconut), fish curry, and fresh seafood at local cafés. Souvenirs: lacquered wooden boxes, locally woven mats and coir products, small handicrafts from Thulusdhoo. Respect customs: modest dress when off the beach and avoid public consumption of alcohol on local islands.
