Jailbreaks

Himmafushi, Maldives
🪸Sharp reef👥Crowded

Jailbreaks is the Maldives' most uniquely named wave—a fun right-hander named after the prison on nearby Himmafushi Island. The wave offers consistent, workable conditions that appeal to intermediates and advanced surfers alike. Staying on the local island provides a budget-conscious Maldives experience, with guesthouses and local restaurants at a fraction of resort prices. Proof that you don't need a trust fund to surf the Maldives.
