The best time to go is December to March, mainly sunny and very consistent winds. The Maldives have a rainy season in the European summer, so check carefully when planing your trip.
What to Expect
A huge shallow lagoon, where you can almost stand everywhere. At the south side of the island and its lagoon is a big reef, which is the end of that atoll. The water is flat and can be a bit choppy when the wind is stronger, but still very nice riding. Maldives have a tide, but the lagoon at the nautical center will always be deep enough for windsurfing as well.
