It’s now possible to stay in a Guesthouse facing Coke’s surfspot on Thulusdhoo island. You can see the spots from some of the 12 rooms. Cola’s or Coke’s is a worldclass right, probably the most tubular wave in North Malé atoll, being well exposed to swells and winds. There is always surf there but S-SW winds can be side / onshore, W-NW is good / perfect. In summer (March-April and Oct-Nov to some extent), Coke’s is always 1ft bigger than Sultan’s, which makes it the greatest wave in North Malé at this period of the year.
On the other side of the pass, Chicken’s left stands a super playful wave, that can be ridden for 500m and as big as 8-10ft face. Theoretically, you could paddle across but best is to take a short dingy ride (10usd to be paid there). You can also ask the dingy to take you to other spots like Sultan’s and it’ll cost 30 US$ both ways.
