SURROUNDINGS & SPOTS
The Area - Central Atolls
Meemu, Thaa, Dhaalu and Laamu Atolls lie south of the capital Male and are littered with medium-sized reef breaks with Ying Yangs, a world class right hander, one of the biggest drawcards.
Meemu, Thaa, Dhaalu and Laamu Atolls offer spots exposed to all wind directions and for all levels. All spots in the Meemu Atoll are on a coastline facing to the east. There is always a left or a right hander well protected from the predominant south westerly wind directions, but south easterly or even easterly winds may affect all spots. All spots are close to each other so you can change spots within a few minutes!
