Kate's

Best Surf Season (July - September)

Kate's in the Maldives lives at the mercy of the Indian Ocean monsoon machine. As the ITCZ shifts north through the northern summer, the Southwest Monsoon injects a steady stream of southerly and southeasterly swell into the equatorial atolls. For this Ost-Süd-Ost (ESE) facing reef, the best window is July through September. During these months, the swell rose is anchored by strong SSE energy, intervals linger around 9.0-9.3s, and ideal offshore W/WNW/NW/NNW winds blow 51-56% of the time. Average heights sit near 1.2-1.3m (4ft), producing clean, lined-up reef waves at their most consistent and powerful.
