Wave characteristics

A long, fast left-hand reef break, described as one of the longest lefts in the Maldives, with rides reported up to ~500m on a good day across multiple (some sources say up to six) sections, several capable of barrelling. surfsphere.com/jonnymelon.com describe skill level as 'Intermediate to Advanced' -- a range rather than a single term, so difficulty was left null here rather than collapsed to one value, per the task's hard rule against upgrading a hedge.

Season

Sources give May-October as the ideal window, with July-August southeast swells cited as most consistent, typically 2-8ft (jonnymelon.com/surfsphere.com summaries) -- kept as a hedge, not a guarantee.

Access

Reached by a short boat/dhoni ride from Thulusdhoo (~$10 USD per person round-trip per several sources), which functions as the practical access point even though the wave itself breaks off a separate, uninhabited island.
