Coke's - surf spot statistics

Coke's in the Maldives offers a mix of conditions throughout the year, with the best surfing months typically centered around the Indian Ocean swell seasons. The spot is predominantly windswell-driven, with ground swell making up a smaller but still notable portion, especially from February to September. The most consistent and favorable conditions occur from February to April, when ground swell percentages are higher (27% to 44%), wind conditions are relatively good (54% to 62% good wind days), and mean swell sizes hover around 0.9m to 1.0m, providing clean, manageable waves. March stands out as the peak month, with 35% ground swell and 62% favorable winds. Outside this window, wind conditions deteriorate significantly from May to October, with bad wind days dominating (74% to 86%), though swell size increases slightly (1.3m to 1.6m) due to stronger seasonal winds, making it less ideal for clean rides. November and December see a return to more balanced conditions, but with windswell dominance returning (78% to 87%) and ground swell dropping off. January is similar, offering smaller swells (1.2m) but with poor wind conditions (64% bad). For surfers prioritizing quality over size, the February-April window is the prime time, while those seeking bigger but choppier waves may find June-August suitable, albeit with more challenging winds. Overall, the best months are March and February when ground swell, wind quality, and wave consistency align best.

In July, Coke’s in the Maldives offers solid surf conditions with a dominant swell from the south and southeast, providing consistent, clean waves. The average swell height is 1.6m with a strong period of 10.7s, indicating powerful, well-spaced waves ideal for intermediate to advanced surfers. The majority of waves fall in the 1-2.5m range, with the highest frequency between 1.5-2m (24.71% from SSE) and 1-1.5m (12.30% from SSE). Larger sets (2-2.5m) occur 6.48% of the time, offering occasional overhead waves. Swells from the south and SSE are the most consistent, while westerly swells are less frequent but can still deliver rideable energy. Wind conditions are more variable, with only 24% of days offering ideal offshore or light cross-shore winds (typically from the northeast to east). The predominant winds come from the west and southwest, often blowing at 10-30kph, which can create choppy conditions, especially during stronger WSW or W winds. However, mornings may provide cleaner sessions before the wind picks up. Overall, July is a reliable month for surf at Coke’s, with the best days coinciding with SSE swells and lighter easterly winds.
