Cokes is the Maldives' most accessible quality wave—a fun right-hander named after the Coca-Cola factory on Thulusdhoo Island. The wave is forgiving on smaller days (perfect for intermediates), but can produce quality barrel sections when larger swells arrive. Staying on the island itself offers a budget-friendly alternative to expensive resort-based surf trips. This is democratic Maldives surfing—world-class waves without the five-star price tag.
