Surfing

It is said that the Gaafu Dhaalu Atoll (also named Huvadhoo 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. The Gaafu Dhaalu offers the greatest quantity and variety of spots. 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.

 

  • Blue Bowls or Voodoos (10 mins by speedboat)- Blue Bowls is the most flexible right, tucked inside the pass and protected from SW-W Winds. More of a point style wave, it has good a length of ride and nice bowly sections for performance moves. All swells, all tides and all sizes.
  • Gani Point or Five Islands (across the channel) - Five Islands is another right hander that breaks hard and hollow on the shallow reef inside. The outside section encourages deep takeoffs into racy walls and handles the biggest swells at all tides.
  • Love Charms (across the channel) - are actually several reliable lefts, which can handle E winds and any size of swell. Low tide is the best when it is small, soft and broken into two distinct sections. Bigger swell morphs into a long, hollow wall, with protected pockets.
  • Rockets or Tiger Stripes (15 mins by speedboat) - Named after the narrow gouges in the reef that give a striped effect, Tigers is a real growling left in a strong swell. Tricky take offs into a long speedy wall before committing to an inside tube section that wraps and peters out in the channel. Unimpressive when small, it always seems to be bigger than everywhere else. All tides, all variations of S Swells and any N Wind.

Chris (March 2016)
Amazing trip. Thank you so much for making us feel so special. This was our honeymoon and it was a once in a lifetime experience for both the of us.
The little touches you provided certainly made the difference and we were blown away with your little gifts and surprises along the way that you organized such as honeymoon cake on the flight and at the hotel, Mr & Mrs passport covers, constant emails and checking in on us at the resort.
Ayada Resort was such a beautiful resort, definitely high end and in our eyes a 7 star resort with impeccable service with our own butler, pool and only meters from our own private beach (much better location and more private than the overwater villas). We really did feel like the only guests on the island.
Love Charms surf break is only 5 mins speedboat ride away and we scored 4-5ft lefthanders with only 4 of us surfing. Tiger Stripes is a 30 min speedboat ride away and had a few safari boats that visited but no more that 15 people in the water at one time.
I only surfed the 3 days but I have memories that will last a lifetime.
We would definitely recommend The Perfect wave to anyone who wanted to travel to the Maldives.

Steven (September 2015)
Ayada is a beautiful resort in the Southern Atolls. Accommodation, facilities & meals were fantastic. The staff are the most attentive & friendly that I have ever experienced.
