Maldives – Southern Atolls: Gaafu Dhaalu Atoll offers some of the best conditions for surfing in the Maldives. It works best in February to April and September to November. It picks up more swell than any other Atoll in the Maldives and from every direction. To almost every island on the outside of the atoll you will find one or two breaks. There is everything from barreling and hollow walls to soft and never ending playful waves. Anything from powerful, Mentawai-style righthander Beacons to more mellow waves with long walls like Love Charms or Booga Reef.
