Wave characteristics
A long right-hand reef pass, described as arguably the most consistent wave in this part of the Maldives: a mellow outside wall in deep water that wraps into a long, hollow inside barrel section under a strong southeast swell (surfatoll.com, oceandimensions.com, amaldives.com). dreamingofmaldives.com describes it as 'generally better suited to intermediate and advanced surfers' -- a range, not a single term, so difficulty was left null rather than upgraded to one label.
Season
Sources describe it as best under a strong southeast swell rather than giving a specific calendar window; no independently-confirmed month range surfaced for Yin-Yang specifically, so none was added.
Access
A few minutes by boat from Six Senses Laamu (Olhuveli island), per the resort's own Tropicsurf-run surf program.
