If you are rich - go to the maledives!!!!!!
I did a boat trip for 10 days there last spring and I found pure atoll perfection.
In the north atoll region there are 6 to 8 spots all are well known by the people (lohis, pasta point, honkeys, chickens . . .).
You get cristal clear, warm (29° C) water and PERFEKT pealing waves in a tropical paradise (thousands of islands and the highest point of the country is lower than 10 meters)!
the waves are powerfull but easy to surf and although it´s only breaking on reefs it´s not that dangerous, because usually there´s enough water. You find a good variety of (long)left and right pointbreaks and can choose between them.
Go soon, because I am sure it´ll get more crouwded in the next year, because everybody loves it (and later they predict, the maledives are going down because of a rising sealevel). An other advice is: stay on a boat.
This provides you more flexibility and is just great.
If you want to go and you need a surfguide or coach for advanced surf course, just send me an email! We can go together! (I am a surf teacher and worked with beginners as well as with advanced surfers)
For a longer trip it s very expensive to stay on the maledives. So what you can do is combine it with a trip to sri lanka!
These were just a few short informations to give that site some content, do the same and stay wet in mind!
SPOT RATING: 5*****
(1- not so okay, 2-okay, 3-cool, 4-very cool, 5-the ultimate spot)
Go to the forum and rate this spot

BEST TIME TO SURF
Most consistent and clean from november to march, biggest in summer but danger of ugly wind
CROWDS
If you are on a boat, it´s easy to avoid the crowds (I surfed perfect waves alone and talking to myself or praying for someone to share that pleasure and to make sure that this is not a dream)
