CENTRAL ATOLLS
Maldives
A 140 km boat ride south of the more accessible (and crowded) North Male Atolls you will find an endless amount of reef breaks with consistent conditions for intermediates.
JULY AND OCTOBER
24 July - 03 August
23 October - 02 November
Shoulders season is perfect for intermediates. With less abundant big swells (and weather), medium-sized waves are as abundant and perfect as you could ask for.

3 delicious meals a day and transport straight to the line-up. All you have to think about is packing your boardbag and paddling into perfect waves. Insert yourself here.

Discover what's your surf level!
The Maldives surf season goes from April to October. Waves are incredibly consistent and while in Summer it may get big and sometimes a bit wet, the shoulder season (October and November) brings good weather and more playful conditions for the intermediate surfer.
Since the Central Atolls take longer to reach, fewer boats operate in the area compared to the more crowded Male Atolls – which translates to fewer surfers in the line-up.
Since most surfers heading to the Central Atolls are usually interested in more advanced waves, this often leaves other more intermediate spots (but still world-class) completely empty. This is the perfect recipe for a week of scoring incredible waves and improving your surfing skills.
