Castaways - surf spot statistics

Castaways in the Maldives offers consistent surf year-round, with no flat spells indicated by the 0% "No Swell" probability. The best months for surfers are typically February and March, when ground swell dominance peaks at 71-75%, wind swell is relatively low (24-29%), and favorable wind conditions occur 62-70% of the time. These months also provide manageable mean swell sizes around 1.1m, ideal for most surfers. December and January are strong alternatives, with ground swells around 57%, decent wind conditions (52-62%), and slightly larger waves (1.2m). From April onward, wind conditions deteriorate significantly, with bad winds exceeding 69% and swell sizes increasing, peaking at 1.9m in July-August—better suited for advanced riders. May through November sees persistently unfavorable winds (over 72% bad conditions), though ground swells remain decent (48-78%), making these months less reliable for quality sessions. Overall, the early-year window (January-March) delivers the most balanced combo of clean ground swells, lighter winds, and moderate wave heights.
