Sandbank Thundi Sunset Beach
Maldives · Malé Atoll
Thundi Sunset Beach, in Thulusdhoo, in the Malé Atoll, is a spot appreciated by riders for its easy access and relaxed atmosphere. It offers a practical setting for kitesurfing, with an easily accessible beach and an environment already well-known by surf and glide enthusiasts.
This is not a wave spot, but rather an interesting area for flat water kitesurfing or slightly choppy conditions depending on the weather. The spot mainly attracts due to the consistency of the wind in the area and the ease of launching from the shore.

The spot mainly works with wind from the north to west, which often comes from the side or side-on depending on the exact orientation of the beach. According to cross-referenced information, the most interesting directions remain the sectors N, NNE, NE, ENE, E, ESE, SE, SSE, S, SSW, SW, WSW, W, WNW, NW, and NNW, with a preference for winds that maintain an exploitable component without being too onshore. In this type of beach in the Maldives, launching generally occurs from the shore, with a launching area to be organized properly on the sand.
The water surface is rather flat, making it a more comfortable spot for cruising and speed work than for wave surfing. At low tide, the water can be shallower near the shore, allowing for cleaner navigation; at high tide, the navigation area often becomes more homogeneous and a bit more comfortable. However, it is essential to remain attentive to local depth variations and the presence of a sandy area that evolves with the tides.
Launching is easy from the beach, but it is necessary to keep a clear area for launching and retrieving the kite. The spot is more suited for clean and controlled riding than for engaged navigation offshore, especially if the swell rises or if the wind becomes irregular. In good conditions, you have a simple playground, with few visible obstacles and a reassuring sandy bottom.
