Olhuveli Island

Olhuveli is a resort island in South Male Atoll, home to the Olhuveli Beach & Spa resort (Sun Siyam Resorts), close enough to Male to be a regular day-trip or stopover on South Male Atoll kite boat trips. Its lagoon setting is commonly rated as suitable across the skill range from beginner to expert, making it a flexible atoll base rather than a specialist wave or freestyle venue.

Monthly wind statistics

Station: Male, Maldives (Weather Spark, ~36.7 km) — No windfinder/windguru statistics page could be retrieved for this specific island (their monthly tables are JS-rendered and not accessible to static fetch; windfinder generic search only surfaces larger hub stations). Using Male / Velana Intl Airport as the only broadly-available regional proxy for the Maldives. Distance to Olhuveli is ~37 km (South Male Atoll) - moderate confidence. The Maldives' two monsoon seasons (NE 'Iruvai' roughly Dec-Mar, SW 'Hulhangu' roughly May-Nov) are archipelago-wide, so the seasonal direction flip should be broadly representative, but local reef-pass channeling, atoll-side (ocean vs lagoon) exposure, and afternoon thermal boost are NOT captured by this regional-airport source. prob_ge_4bft_pct left null (not available from Weather Spark; only average wind speed is).
