North Male Atoll:

-From Furthermost South Break to Furthermost North Break

Between Male and Himmafushi is an assortment of breaks that are only WORTH checking if the swell is large."Honky's" is located near HP reef just North of Himmafushi Island. It is a fast wrapping left at 4-6ft and needs the right swell direction. Worth checking if "Sultans" is crowded. Just paddle up the peak at "Sultans" and keep paddling about 100 yards to the peelign wave.”Sultans is an easy right hand take off which leads you to an intense wrapping section at the end. Breaks 3-8ft. Please note: this wave is the most protected from the southerly winds in the North Male atoll and collects the most swell - so go there if it is small.


Breaking off Tari Village, just across from "Sultans" you have "Pasta Point", a fun left hander that breaks 4-8ft. At 6ft is a perfect wackable face. Please note: you may or may not be welcome here as this resort is often crowded with other surfers who are wrongly told by management that they have exclusive rights. Maldivian Sea Laws state that nobody can own part of the ocean.


20 minutes further North you will find the right-hander known as "Ninjas" which breaks off Kani Resort. A speedy right-hander which can be quite fickle.

Directly opposite Kani Resort you have "Lohis", a long wackable left-hander that breaks off Lohifushi Resort - very consistent (looks like a 5 minutes paddle, but not recommended, strong current out to sea!)


25 minutes north are 2 main breaks opposite each other at a reef pass. The right-hander known as "Cokes (Colas)" breaks 3-10ft and is fairly protected from the southerly winds that may affect other breaks such as "Lohis". This wave has been well photographed and is the hollowest in the North Male atoll. This will test your tube-riding ability.



The left hander known as "Chickens" is probably the fastest wave in the North Male atoll. This wave holds swell size from 3ft to well over 10ft and provides rides up to 500m long. A good place to go if spots to the south are too big.
