Beacons - surf spot statistics

The best months for surfing at Beacons, Maldives are February, January, and December, offering the most consistent and favorable conditions. February stands out as the peak month with 71% ground swell dominance, a mean swell size of 1.1m, and 70% good wind conditions, making it ideal for clean, well-formed waves. January follows closely with similar swell consistency (57% ground swell, 1.2m mean size) and 62% favorable winds. December balances decent ground swell (57%) and a 50% chance of good winds, with swells averaging 1.2m. March is also solid with 75% ground swell, though wind reliability drops slightly to 58%. From April onward, conditions deteriorate significantly as onshore winds dominate (77-94% bad winds), and while swell persists, it becomes increasingly mixed or wind-driven, particularly from May to October when poor winds prevail over 85% of the time. Swell size peaks during these months (1.6-1.9m), but choppy and onshore conditions make them less ideal. For surfers prioritizing quality over size, the early-year window (January-March) and late-year transition (December) provide the cleanest, most rideable waves.

February at Beacons, Maldives, offers solid surf conditions with a consistent, mid-sized swell averaging 1.1m and a favorable period of 12.1s, ensuring well-organized waves. The swell primarily arrives from the SSW (26.5% of waves in the 1-1.5m range) and SSE (11.96% in the same range), delivering clean, rideable waves with good power. Smaller but still surfable swells also come from the SE and S directions. Wind conditions are ideal 70% of the time, predominantly light to moderate NNE to NE breezes (10-20kph), providing offshore or cross-offshore flow for clean faces. Stronger winds from the N/NNW are present but less frequent. Expect a reliable mix of chest-high to head-high waves with occasional bigger sets, making it a great month for intermediate to advanced surfers.
