surfing season in the Maldives:

The surfing season starts from end of May to end of October – this is when there are the most waves but conditions can vary.

The biggest waves will be in July and August, and the smaller swell is from November to May.

Is it possible to paddle from the resort?

It is possible for an average or good surfer and will take from 5 to 10 minutes - it is however, at your own risk. For guaranteed security, we advise you to take the boat outings instead. If you still want to paddle to the break, it is advisable that you bring booties with you as the reef can be rough to go through. Booties are not sold nor available for rent at Club Med Kani.

Because we care for your little ones

We are very conscious of the safety of our little guests as waves break on the reef. Therefore, kids will have to be at least 11 years old to be surfing near Club Med Kani. Also, you should feel confident that your kids know how to swim and are comfortable in the water. We usually bring children to the "Baby Chicken" surfing spot where the wave is inside the reef meaning smaller and deeper water so less risk of getting hurt on the reef. And for kids taking beginner lessons, the surf instructor will not bring them out if the conditions are dangerous.

How to book your surf package?

For travel between 1st June and 30th September (surfing season), you can pre-book via travel agent or book directly at the excursion counter in Club Med Kani. For travel between 1st October to 30th May, you can only book directly at the excursion counter in Club Med Kani as the surfing conditions might vary, with especially small and inconsistent conditions between November and February. To book the A La Carte option, directly book at the excursions counter the day before in Club Med Kani.

Why surf in the Maldives?

A surf destination on the rise, the Maldives provide a great range of left and right reef breaks which will leave any surfer super stoked. and. A bit more forgiving than Indonesia or Tahiti, Maldivians reef break still suit best the intermediate to advanced surfer. Waves can range from a mellow 2 feet during the surf season (May-October) to a whopping 15 feet during the highest months (July-August), best for the brave at heart! During the dry season of November to February, there might still be some waves around but won’t be the main swell period – so pack a board just in case of a nice surprise swell, get some snorkeling or diving and spend some nice time with friends and family.

Equipment:

You can hire or bring your own board – but we would advise you to bring your own board for the best experience if you are a regular surfer. If you'd like to hire, we have a total of 7 boards available from 6’8 hydrofish board to 9’0 longboard. We can have up to 10 people on the speedboat with a requirement of 4 persons minimum to go out. During surfing season, it is best to pre-book and if there is less than 4 people going out, we will find a way to send you.

We provide water on the boat and also have a first aid box on hand if needed. However, we won’t have any rash shirts, wetsuits or sunscreen so make sure to bring those with you. Rash shirts and wetsuits are not available for purchase or rent at Club Med Kani.

Surf lessons for beginners

Beginners can also learn in how to surf in the Maldives! For a challenging and fun experience, we also offer private and group lessons depending on your needs and comfort with surf lessons in in the lagoon and then on an easy surf break.

Private lessons: if you'd like a more in-depth experience and maximum training with an ISA-certified instructor. Groups lessons: the outing will be for two beginners maximum with one instructor. We keep this low number to ensure comfort and safety. Includes board hire, 1h30 in-lagoon lesson, and 2-hour outing.
