Antiques surf guide

Antiques is a surf spot located between the islands of Gan and Gadhdhoo. It’s known for its smaller, more manageable waves, making it a decent choice for surfers looking for a relaxed session. This spot is not as popular as some of the more intense breaks nearby, but it’s worth checking out if you're in the area and want something a bit less hectic.

The waves here mostly break to the right and are generally a couple of feet smaller than the lefts at spots like Tiger Stripes. Antiques can handle swell sizes effectively around 2 feet (about 0.6 meters), which makes it perfect for beginners. The best time to surf is when there’s a southeast or southwest swell rolling in, ideally with a northwest wind. It works well during low, mid, and high tides, so you have some flexibility in planning your session.

While the waves are friendly for beginners, it's good for more experienced surfers looking for a chill spot to practice or work on their technique without the stress of bigger surf. Just remember that the break is over dead coral, so be cautious when navigating in and out of the water.
