Meerufenfushi Island

Meerufenfushi Island is a small atoll resort island in the Maldives surrounded by shallow lagoon waters and protected by an outer reef. The island features a narrow elongated shape with developed resort infrastructure in the center, flanked by pristine sand beaches and shallow turquoise lagoon waters. The spot is characterized by very limited fetch and light wind conditions typical of equatorial lagoon environments. Water conditions remain relatively calm with small average wave heights of 0.95m, making this primarily a flat-water lagoon spot rather than a traditional wave kitesurfing destination. Wind reliability is low at 28.7%, with average winds of only 9.8 knots—borderline for kitesurfing. The lagoon orientation suggests side-shore conditions from easterly winds (90°) would be optimal. This spot suits beginner to early intermediate kiters seeking flat-water progression in a protected environment. Key considerations include shallow waters requiring awareness of depth, boat traffic around the resort, coral and reef hazards in adjacent areas, and the need for lighter wind days to generate sufficient conditions.
