Maldives surf spot guide
On this page: | Surf spots / regions | Maldives Surf Travel Forum
Location: Southern Asia, group of atolls in the Indian Ocean, south-southwest of India
Coordinates: 3 15 N, 73 00 E
Coastline: 644 km
Language: Maldivian Dhivehi (dialect of Sinhala, script derived from Arabic), English spoken by most government officials
Safety: Crime levels are low but petty theft does occur. It is best not to leave goods unattended on the beaches or in hotel rooms. There is a measure of political instability and visitors are advised to avoid gatherings and demonstrations, particularly on Malé Island. Asian Tsunami: Like other countries in the region the Maldives was hit by a series of tidal waves on 26 December 2004, following a major earthquake in the Indian Ocean. Serious damage occurred to a number of islands, including 19 resort islands. Most resorts are operating as usual, but those planning a holiday in the Maldives should check with their tour operator before travelling.
Communications: The international access code for the Maldives is +960. The outgoing code is 00 followed by the relevant country code (e.g. 001 for the United States). No area codes are required. IDD facilities are available at all resorts and card phones are available on all inhabited islands. The major islands are covered by the mobile network; the local operators use a GSM 900 network, which is compatible with many international cell phone operators, but it is best to check whether your network has roaming agreements with the Maldives. Dhiraagu, the Maldives Telecommunications Company provides mobile telephones for daily rental. Internet access is available in hotels and main tourist resorts.
Climate : The Maldives has a tropical climate characterized by hot and humid conditions with little daily variation. The islands are subject to the SW Monsoon between June and August, and the NE Monsoon from November to March. Average annual precipitation is 2,540 mm (100 inches) in the north and 3,810 mm (150 inches) in the south. The average temperature ranges are from 25 degrees Celsius (77 degrees Fahrenheit) to 29 degrees Celsius (84 degrees Fahrenheit) all year.
