Maldives is a paradise for people who love the beach.
Normally, Maldives is a place that scuba divers want to visit because of the
great dive sites it houses. However, the Maldives are now also very popular as
a surfing destination where thousands of surfers from different parts of the
world visit every year.
Thanks to the O'Neill Deep Blue Contest held in the mid 90s
here in Maldives, surfing became very popular here. With lots of fantastic
breaks, you can be sure that you will be able to have a lot of fun surfing
here. However, the only problem is that few of these breaks are within the
tourism zone. You will need to hire a guide and go to the other part of Maldives
in order to search for the other beaches that host fantastic breaks that you
can surf on.
Also, these breaks are only surfable within the months of
March and November. It is important to remember that you have to plan ahead
when you are thinking about surfing in the Maldives. Because of the fact that
this place is very popular among beach lovers and surfers alike, you will find
it hard to book for a place to stay and even harder for you to get a plane to
Maldives.
In fact, because people book way ahead of time, it can even
be impossible for you to book a month before your trip. This is why it is
important for you to also book your trip and your accommodation way ahead of
the surfing season. You have to keep in mind that the Maldives is not a place
where you can just turn up with your board and surf the waves. You really need
to plan your trip.
Between May and November, the southwest monsoon will hit the
Maldives. During this time, you will be able to usually experience fantastic
surfing as it is on this time that you will be able to get the best breaks.
