Gaadhiffushi

Gaadhiffushi is a small island lagoon spot in the Maldives characterized by a protected shallow-water environment. The lagoon faces northeast with a sandy/muddy bottom interspersed with reef patches and vegetation-covered motu islands. The spot offers light swell conditions (0.85m average) suitable for progression and practice. Wind reliability is low at 19.4%, indicating inconsistent conditions typical of tropical locations. The shallow protected lagoon provides safe water for beginners and intermediate kiters, with minimal wave face but controlled conditions. Low wind speed averaging 8.8 knots suggests this spot requires patience for session windows. Best conditions occur with northwesterly winds (315°) running parallel to the lagoon's northeast orientation. Navigation around reef structures and vegetated islands is essential. Water temperature at 28.1°C is warm year-round. The limited fetch and enclosed nature mean waves remain small, making this suitable for skill-building rather than wave-riding. Ideal for learning board control and technique in controlled conditions.
