Pasta Point, located in the Maldives’ Northern Atolls, is probably the most famous and best left-hander in the area. Pasta Point features a reef bottom, making it more suitable for experienced surfers rather than beginners. On its best days can provide very long rides with barreling sections. The ideal swell direction for Pasta Point is from the southeast, south, or southwest, while the best wind direction is from the northwest, north, or northeast. The wave is exclusive to the guests of the resort of the island and limited to 30 surfers, which means it is usually not very crowded but also that is very difficult (and expensive) to surf here.
