The Male atolls are divided into North Malé and South Malé. They are the most famous and well-known areas in the Maldives to surf. The large number of spots and the different characteristics that differentiate them will offer anyone (experienced surfers and not ) to find the wave best suited to their abilities and expectations. The best time is especially between April and November, when the southwest monsoon pushes perfect waves on the powerful reefs.
