Honky's

North Male Atoll, Maldives
🪸Sharp reef🌀Strong rips

Honky's is Sultans' powerful neighbor—a left-hand reef break across the channel that comes alive when bigger swells hit the North Male Atoll. The wave is heavier and more intense than its right-hand sibling, producing barrel sections over shallow coral. It needs more size to work, making it a complement rather than a replacement for Sultans. When both are firing, this corner of the Maldives offers world-class options in both directions.
