Peak surf season: May–September (southwest monsoon) — generally offers the most consistent swells and larger waves. Shoulder months: April and October can also produce good surf with fewer crowds.

Tropical climate: warm year-round with air temperatures typically 27–32°C (80–90°F). Expect higher rainfall during the southwest monsoon (May–October) and calmer, drier weather in the northeasterly season (November–April). Sea temperatures stay around 27–29°C (81–84°F).

No specific entry fee to the surf spot. Access arranged via surf operators, liveaboards, or local boat charters; surf sessions commonly start at dawn or late afternoon to match favorable wind conditions.

Nearest international gateway: Velana International Airport (Malé). Typical access: boat transfer (speedboat or traditional dhoni) from Malé or nearby resort/guest islands, or as part of a liveaboard surf cruise. Local surf operators can arrange pick-ups and provide knowledgeable guides.

Plan for 3–7 days focused on surfing to allow for changing swell and wind windows; liveaboard itineraries often run 5–10 days for multiple breaks.

Bring a reef-safe sunscreen, rashguard or spring suit (UV protection), reef booties for paddling out on sharp coral, a durable leash, and a board quiver suited for punchy reef barrels (shorter, more responsive boards often preferred).

Try Maldivian dishes such as garudhiya (fish soup), fresh grilled reef fish, and coconut-based curries at local islands or guesthouses. Popular souvenirs include lacquerware, woven mats, and locally made jewelry; support ethical, reef-safe products and local artisans.
