Sultans

North Male Atoll, Maldives
🪸Sharp reef🌀Strong rips

Sultans is one of the Maldives' most consistent waves—a long, peeling right-hander in the North Male Atoll that works on a wide range of swell sizes. The wave offers multiple sections over coral reef, with barrel opportunities on the right swell. Accessible by boat from Male or nearby resorts, Sultans is a staple of any Maldives surf charter. The turquoise water and consistent conditions make this a tropical right-hander paradise.
