- Wave characteristics
- A left-hand reef break described as North Male Atoll's most consistent 'wave machine', less wind-affected than most other spots in the area; waves typically 4-6ft but reportedly break with the same shape even at 1-2ft. Three sections capable of a 100+ yard ride. The name comes from an Italian restaurant that once stood on the site and discarded leftover pasta into the surf (atolltravel.com, stokedfortravel.com, waterwaystravel.com).
- Season
- waterwaystravel.com/nomadsurfers.com summaries give May-August as the best window, when south-to-southwest trade winds keep conditions offshore and southern swells are most consistent; swell size is described as starting at 1m/3ft and holding up to 4m/12ft.
- Access
- Directly in front of the resort now branded Cinnamon Dhonveli Maldives (formerly Chaaya Island Dhonveli), which markets exclusive guest access to the break; Sultans, Honky's and Jailbreak are each described as within about 10 minutes by boat.
