Atmosphere:
The crowd is all from somewhere far away. Locals are usually boatmen who feed on surfing and will let you surf. Pressure may be very high, but it all depends on how aggressive crews are. The Maldives provides many excellent locations - including Lohis (Eastern reef of North Male' Atoll), Piddlies / Ninjas (Kanifinolhu Resort (Eastern reef of North Male' Atoll), Cokes (Thulusdhoo-Eastern reef of North Male' Atoll), Chickens (Villinilimathi Huraa (Kuda Villingili) and many more especially in the Southern Atolls

Additional Info:
Maldives is a fairly new and emerging destination for surfers. The surf season coincides with the south-west monsoon and runs from mid February to November when the best swells are generated by winter low pressure systems in the southern Indian Ocean. March and April also provide good surfing and have the best weather. The water is warm enough to swim without a wetsuit, though a light suit is a good idea, for protection from the sun and coral. Booties are essential for picking your way over exposed coral reefs, and a helmet is recommended.
Surfing in the Maldives provides you with two options; either staying in a resort or booking a live-aboard surfing vacation on a charter cruiser (Safari boat). Resorts provide boats (Dhonis) to transport surfers out beyond the breaks between two to three times per day for two hour periods whereas charters offer surfers the chance to surf the reefs for longer periods.

Access

Firstly, you can only access the spot by boat.Small boats or 'dhonis' are used to load the surfboards onto and position offshore at the rear of the breaks. Sultans is a popular destination for surfers in the North Male' Atoll's eastern reef because it provides consistent waves which never close out.
