11 Day Central Atoll Surf Liveaboard Trip in Maldives

Enjoy your stay at the luxury Horizon 2 as you surf away from the crowd. Horizon-2 is a value for money. The boat maintains 10 persons on an open boat and 12 persons on private charters with good food (set varied meals of Western and Asian cuisine), free flow of unlimited water, coffee, and tea, and a great ambiance on the boat.

The surf tender provides surf from morning sunrise to sunset with a local guide to support you in the water. Snorkeling gear is available for free. And a buffet or BBQ every trip. More than 65% of participants are repeaters on Horizon II.

The “Central Atolls” refers to the four atolls between Male’ and Southern atoll area. They are as follows.

• Meemu
• Dhaalu
• Thaa
• Laamu

The best way to surf the Central Atolls is on a charter boat which gives best access to the breaks of the different atolls depending on the prevailing swell and wind directions.

A well organized boat trip with very experienced guide will make the most of the conditions when you’re there, and get you onto a variety of the best waves in the region.

Depending on the arrival, can choose if the guests want to surf, choose to surf the breaks near Himmafushi and depending on the forecast start to cruise towards Meemu Atoll and if the swells aren’t good check the forecast and start cruising towards the best break possible.

Most of the breaks mentioned in one Atoll are close to each other so that you don’t have to cruise much. If you get a good swell and if you have problems locating the breaks, the breaks are already on maps and swell forecast application remember if you get a good swell.

Don’t cruise towards any breaks which you are unsure of and always take the guests words and captains words before making a decision.

An advantage of the Central Atolls is the accessibility to breaks that are exposed to the wider range of swell directions from south-west to south-east swells. The best waves are on reefs beside a “kandu” or channel where water flows in and out of the atoll lagoon.

The swell direction, tide and wind direction determine the best spot on the day. Most of the best breaks in the Central Atolls are right handers but there are plenty of good lefts as well.
