The Thaa Atoll picks up a lot of straight south to south east swell and may be even bigger than spots on east facing coastlines of other atolls. Due to its secluded location it is almost guaranteed that you will not even spot another surf charter during your stay. The spots are well protected from North to North west winds. Conditions may be fickle with other wind directions. We will choose this Atoll only in very stable weather conditions.

Thaa already surfed by safari boats - Just to let you know that Maldivesurf boat charters have been surfing Thaa since 2004 when Oxbow surftrip made it there. Now, both our boats and Tropicsurf cruised the atolls. Obviously, everybody is free to come but don't tell people that the lineup will be empty. It's just not true. Don't forget about Veymandhoo locals on Friday !
