Beach and Tide Conditions
Kitesurfing conditions do not depend on Tide on this spot.
Olhuveli Island, Maldives is a Shallow, Flat, Small waves and Medium waves spot.
The launching/landing area is reported to be of Medium size.
The beach is fantastic. West side and East side have beautiful beaches, with soft sand and shells. No rocks in the sea, only a little wall in the end of the South side of the island. I think that the South and the West side are better for kiting. Also you can use those little islands of sand as base for launching during low tide. On this island you have white sand everywhere.
The water is flat and shallow inside the lagoon. The sea floor has sand. The only side with some corals is the West side near the landing stage. During low tide you can see many little island of white sand appear in the lagoon, that is big. Waves are small inside the lagoon and also near the reef in the West side are small. You have big waves near the reef in the East side. In the West side you have the reef near the beach, around 100 m, while in East side reef is far, about 500m. The lagoon is big.
