Surfing Season

Tropicsurf operates at Anantara Dhigu Maldives Resort year round. However, April to October is considered the surf season in the Maldives. Swell size in the off-season months may vary and won’t be ideal for a serious surfing vacation. As surf season starts, the swell direction changes and swell size and consistency normally increases. Waves are usually chest-high and may reach to a little overhead.
