Spot guide
Sultans, Thamburudhoo is an SE-facing reef break in North Malé Atoll, Maldives. It picks up swell from NE to S and S, and land, islands, reefs or shallow banks block about 39% of the directions it faces. Offshore wind here blows from the NW: light winds or NW breezes usually mean the cleanest surf, while SE onshores chop it up.
