Just Surf Maldives just expanded your opportunity to surf Maldives cheap.
Consider splitting your homestay surf in Maldives to two different locations. Stay at the guesthouse in Thulusdhoo for 4 or 5 days and then take a local boat back to Male and transfer to another boat to surf south Male – Guraidhoo. You will have the opportunity to surf some of the best waves in Maldives at budget prices.
Cokes or Colas is in North Male just off the northeast corner of Thulusdhoo. Our guesthouse and surf package in Thulusdhoo is unbeatable. You can do the B&B for as little as $70 per person per day or upgrade to the surf package which includes all meals, lodging and surf transfers for $100 per person per day. While in Thulusdhoo, you have access to Cokes and Chickens very easy and Honkeys, Sultans, Pastas, and Jails are just down the way a bit. They could be accessed by boat at an additional cost.
Guraidhoo is another homestay offering cheap surf in Maldives. You can access Riptides right there and Quarters, Twin Peaks, Kates and Natives all right there close. If you book in at Guraidhoo for breakfast, dinner, lodging and transfers it is $55 per person per day*. You can add on the surf transfers to all the surrounding breaks for just $32 per person per day.
*Price based on double occupancy.
Matt gets barreled at Cokes on Thursday. It was an average day on Colas wave.
Matt is the surf guide at Cokes wave. He stays at the guesthouse in Thulusdhoo where you can stay for as little as $70 per person per day. Matt will be happy to show you how to get out to the wave and help make sure you get waves. I watched Matt help the other guys paddle out and give up some great waves for the guest surfers. Stunning guy.
The guesthouse has had some upgrades like AC and two extra room are ready. You can also reserve a speedboat transfer direct from the airport for $75 per person each way. This is just an extra option if your flight schedule doesn’t line up. We don’t want you to miss a day of surfing because of bad flight schedule. The speedboat transfer takes about 25-40 minutes based upon weather conditions.
Surf Maldives for $100 per person per day. The surf package includes your stay, transfers, surf guide, transfers to nearby waves, and 3 meals a day. You cant beat this price for what you get. Don’t wait around, we only have 5 rooms in the house and they book up fast.

Maldives is becoming increasingly popular as a surfing destination. The surf season starts in February and ends in November. During this part of the year low pressure areas in the southern part of the Indian Ocean create swells that pump northerly until they break onto the reefs of Maldives. Combined with the offshore tradewinds, conditions cannot get more epic. The breaks in North & South Male Atoll work from March – November. The most southern Atoll works best from February-April. Other months have great days, but wind wise, its less consistent. The swell ranges from 2ft to 8ft. June to September are the months with the biggest swell. It rarely gets bigger than 8 feet. With the water temperature only 3 degrees Celcius below the air temperature it will feel like surfing in a bath.
Plan to bring your regular shortboard and a gun for the potential bigger days. You could also bring a fish or a bigger board for the smaller days. You will definitely need a rashguard, and sun hats and sunblock (high SPF) are recommended as a week in the Maldivian sun has the potential to give your skin a beating. Helmets are optional. Booties are recommended.
You should realize that, especially on the smaller days, the surf breaks in North Male can become crowded, but the predominant epic conditions will make surfing in Maldives an unforgettable experience.
