Surfing at Hudhuranfushi Luxury Surf Resort

Hudhuranfushi has the name for being the best Maldives Island for surfing in the North Male Atoll. In the past under the former name Lohifushi the Maldives Island hosted the O'Neill Deep Blue Open World Qualifying Series (WQS) for three years.

The Maldives experience a very similar surf season as Indonesia. The best of the surf season can be enjoyed between March and November with the biggest swells likely to occur in June, July and August. During these months conditions are predominantly off shore all-day and the swell direction is mainly south, south east (SSE).

There is a great variety of reef breaks available for surfing ranging in intensity, from quite mellow shreddable walls to gnarlier hollow pits. In North Male Atoll, between Male and Thulhusdhoo there is an assortment of 7 breaks. These include Ninjas, Honkies, Coke, Chicken, Sultans and Jailbreak. Hudhuranfushi is within a 25 minute dhoni boat transfer on which you can purchase a surf pass to take up to 3 boat trips to other surfing breaks.

"JAILBREAKS" is a classic right-hander that was previously off limits. Down along the line of the right-hander there is 3 distinct sections that includes a mid barrel section with rides of up to 300meters can be had when it's lining up.

"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 out if "Sultans" is crowded.

"SULTANS" is on the other side of the channel where "Honky's" is located. It is an easy right-hand take off which leads you to an intense wrapping section at the end. Breaks are around 3-8ft, please note this wave is the most protected from the southerly winds in the North Male Atoll and collect the most swell, so best to go there if it's small.

"NINJAS" is around 20 minutes further north which breaks off Kani Resort; this is a mellow right-hander which can be quite fickle.

"LOHIS" breaks on the south side of Hudhuranfushi directly opposite Kani Resort. The waves are long wackable quality Left-hander, Hudhuranfushi also has made easy access to the left-hander with a short walk and paddle. With the waves being very consistent at Hudhuranfushi it makes surfing good at any time of the year. The Maldives Island also has a bar on the surf side for those staying on or visiting Hudhuranfushi, with all your refreshment needs for you to watch or take on the breaks. There is a large decking area with plenty of seating to have a nice cold drink of your choice or just lay back and watch the surfers.

25 minutes north of Hudhuranfushi there are 2 breaks opposite each other at a reef pass. This right-hander is known as "COKES" (colas) with breaks 3-10ft. This wave has been well photographed and is the most hollow in the North Male Atoll. These waves will test your tube riding ability. The left-hander known as "CHICKENS" is most likely to be the fastest wave in North Male Atoll. This wave holds swells from 3ft to well over 10ft and rides up to 500meter long.
