Surfreisen Malediven Süd-Atolle
Die Süd-Atolle sind der Traum für Surfer schlechthin
Die Südlichen Atolle der Malediven sind eine wahre Perle und eine der letzten Ecken des Planeten, die noch nicht vollständig erkundet sind. Tief im Indischen Ozean gelegen - einen 45min Flug entfernt vom Trubel auf Male - liegen die Südatolle so abgelegen, wie man es sich nur wünschen kann. Hier gibt es nicht viel mehr als leere weltklasse Welle, ein paar Resorts und ganz wenige Surf Charter. Die Südatolle sind der weit gereisten Brandung aus dem Süden ausgesetzt, wodurch sie eine insgesamt längere Surfsaison zu bieten haben. Diese startet Anfang Februar und dauert tatsächlich bis Ende November.
- Ein wahrer Magnet für Wellen
- Eine reine Surf-Destination
- Nicht so voll und weniger erkundet als der Norden
- Romantische Luxusresorts
- Beliebte Route für Surf Charter
- Nur einen kurzen Flug von Male entfernt

They aren't travel agents with a surf related website, but actual surfers that are experienced in both surfing and the places that they offer travel too.
Some of the other agents which brag as being leaders in this field are far from it.Mehr erfahrentrustpilotKnowledgeableThe best by far. Their actual surfers and not just travel agents that have stood up on a foamy once upon a time.
Having tried every other agent acting in the Maldives and the surfing industry. I have finally found one that actually gets it. They aren't travel agents with a surf related website, but actual surfers that are experienced in both surfing and the places that they offer travel too. Some of the other agents which brag as being leaders in this field are far from it. There has always been some headache such as overbooking, inferior boats, or just general misinformation. These guys get it, finally.Jez BrowningJez Browning - googleIndependent

He was so helpful answering a million questions over weeks leading up to departure and his suggestions about different boats, itineraries, location and the benefits of a surf guide did not seek to overstate the good things or gloss over the less desirable factors.

Thanks so much to Tim and the entire LUEX crew to seriously go above and beyond to make my trip to the Maldives all that more special. Your prompt communication, attention to detail AND patience was much appreciated. I always wanted to go surf in the Maldives, but I had no idea A, where to go, and B, where to stay. Tim was kind enough to exchange probably close to 30 emails, taking the time to discuss every single option that was available that matched my budget and preferences. I honestly never had a better customer experience and thought I was in good hands throughout the booking process. Everything lined up perfectly, and I had ten unforgettable days in paradise, surrounded by good people and pumping waves. Again, thanks so much for all your efforts.

Einen Vorgeschmack auf unsere Expertenberatung findest du hier
Die Wellen in dieser Gegend sind nur für Fortgeschrittene geeignet. Das Fenster kann sich zwar schnell schließen, jedoch ist die Brandung insgesamt sehr beständig. Es gibt insgesamt mehr hohle Wellen, die richtig Kraft haben, als auf den anderen Atollen. Außerdem kann man hier die Menschenmassen vermeiden.
Wenn du den Touristenströmen des Nordens aus dem Weg gehen möchtest, dann bist du hier genau richtig. Surf Charter fahren sehr gerne in die südlichen Gewässer und auch Luxusresorts und Hotels kannst du hier finden.
Die südlichen Atolle eignen sich sehr gut für Zeit mit der Familie, denn es gibt sehr viele Freizeitaktivitäten für alle, die nicht den ganzen Tag surfen wollen. Safaris auf den Inseln, Bootstrips zu den Delphinen, viele Spiele und natürlich Entspannung pur. Wenn ihr euch für ein Surfcharter entscheidet, ist die Auswahl limitierter. Hier kann man zusätzlich angeln, Yoga üben, oder einfach mal gepflegt gar nichts tun.
Ja, du brauchst einen Inlandsflug. Wenn du in einem Resort bleibst, musst du noch der Landung auch noch mit dem Schnellboot fahren. Wenn du eine SEHR lange Reise mit dem Surfcharter buchst (mindestens 14 Tage) kannst du auch direkt von Male aus losfahren.
Einige unserer Lieblingswellen in den südlichen Atollen
- Südliche AtolleBeacons
Wahrscheinlich eine der schwersten Wellen, wenn sie erst einmal läuft. Mit dieser Welle ist nicht zu spaßen und du solltest wirklich ein Profi für Barrels sein, wenn du sie surfen willst.
Mehr anzeigenSüdliche AtolleBeaconsWahrscheinlich eine der schwersten Wellen, wenn sie erst einmal läuft. Mit dieser Welle ist nicht zu spaßen und du solltest wirklich ein Profi für Barrels sein, wenn du sie surfen willst. Diese Reaf Breek ist wirklich exponiert und zugleich hart und frickelig. Sie läuft jedoch nur bei einem guten Südwest Swell - sobald die Brandung aus einer anderen Richtung kommt, sind die Schotten dicht.

Los geht es hier bei mittlerem Swell aus dem Südwesten und N/NE Winden. Jeder Goofy Footer wird sofort sein oder ihr Herz an diese lange und schöne Welle verlieren, die sich in zwei Zonen aufteilt. Ein einfacher Takeoff schleudert dich in eine schöne, steile Wall, auf der du einige Turns machen kannst, bevor ein leichter Knick im Riff die Welle aushöhlt und einige fantastische kleine Tubes bildet. Obwohl die Barrel eher mandelförmig als rund geformt ist, ist sie relativ einfach zu handhaben, bevor sie schließlich flacher wird. An dem Punkt solltest du aussteigen. Je nach Größe kann der Break hier in wenigen Augenblicken sein Gesicht wechseln. An großen Tagen verbindet sich die erste Zone mit dem Riff, weil es insgesamt mehr Wasser gibt, und du kannst beim Start direkt unter der Lippe abtauchen. Die klaren Zonen, die es an kleineren Tagen gibt, verschwinden jetzt quasi komplett und du musst gut aufpassen, dass du nicht auf die falsche Seite des Riffs gezogen wirst. Deine Paddel-Muskeln sollten auf Trab sein, denn es wird immer wieder passieren, dass der Sog dich aus deiner Position ziehen will.

Dies ist ein schneller Lefthander der dann gut läuft, wenn es bei Viligili Right zu windig wird. Er bricht direkt gegenüber der Landebahn des Flughafens und erwacht dann wirklich zum Leben, wenn die Brandung aus dem Süden drückt und der Wind aus West-Nordwest weht.

Er bricht direkt gegenüber der Landebahn des Flughafens und erwacht dann wirklich zum Leben, wenn die Brandung aus dem Süden drückt und der Wind aus West-Nordwest weht. Die Take-Off ist ein bisschen hastiger, dafür wird die Welle im weiteren Verlauf etwas ruhiger und die End Section ist sehr sicher und angenehm.

Einige Wellen auf den Malediven sind privat! Du benötigst einen Surfpass dafür und diese können NICHT vor Ort gebucht werden.
Achte drauf, dass dein Reisepass noch lange genug gültig ist!
Nicht alle Inseln haben einfachen Zugang zum Surfen, daher ist der Transfer zu den Spots wichtig!
Die Malediven sind alkoholfrei, da sie eine islamische Nation sind. Aber alle Boote, Resorts und Camps haben eine Lizenz, sodass du dort dein Bier oder deine Cocktails bekommen kannst.
Bitte informiere dich vor deiner Reise über die örtlichen Gesetze und Einschränkungen!

6 Gründe, warum du den perfekten Surfspot in den südlichen Atollen der Malediven finden kannst
- 01Die Süd-Atolle sind der Swell-Magnet der Malediven
01
Die Süd-Atolle sind der Swell-Magnet der MaledivenDie Süd-Atolle sind die Region, die aus allen Richtungen den größten Swell aufnimmt, was zu sehr konstanten und perfekten Bedingungen führt. Obwohl hier das ganze Jahr über gesurft werden kann, ist die Primetime in den Süd-Atollen März - April und September - November, denn dann laufen die nach Süden ausgerichteten Spots am besten. Im Mai-August, wenn diese Spots von überwiegend Südwinden betroffen sind, können die nach Osten ausgerichteten Spots besser sein, obwohl diese typischerweise weniger Swell aufnehmen.

Die Süd-Atolle haben einige der besten Wellen der MaledivenEs gibt eine Vielzahl von namhaften Spots wie Love Charms, Tiger Stripes, Blue Bowls und Castaways - überwiegend Lefthander - und unzählige weitere Geheimspots mit noch unbenannten Left- und Righthandern. Gaafu Dhaalu, die südliche Hälfte des Huvadhoo Atolls, wird in Surferkreisen oft als der Spot mit den besten Bedingungen des Landes beschrieben, denn er hat die höchste Anzahl und die größte Wellenvielfalt auf den Malediven. Wenn du eine Herausforderung voller Adrenalin suchst, dann werden dich die schnellen und hohlen Wellen, die über flaches Riff brechen, komplett begeistern. Doch auch Longboarder, die eher nach sanften Wellen suchen, kommen hier auf ihre Kosten.

Der beste Weg, um alles zu erkunden, ist definitiv per Boot. Surfboas-Charter gibt es in fast allen Größen und Arten, was die Süd-Atolle gerade für kleine und auch große Gruppen beliebt macht - einige Boote legen sogar schon mit einer Anzahl von nur 4-6 Personen ab. Egal ob groß oder klein, alle Boote haben diesen gewissen Charme der Malediven.
