Mada's - surf spot statistics

Mada's in the Maldives offers surfable waves year-round, but the best conditions for intermediate to advanced surfers typically occur from February to April. During this period, ground swell dominates (49-61%), ensuring cleaner, more organized waves, while wind swell is less prominent (39-50%). Swell size remains consistent, averaging 0.9-1.0m, and wind conditions are most favorable, with good winds (no onshore chop or crosswinds) occurring 51-63% of the time. March stands out as the peak month, combining the highest ground swell (56%) and the best wind likelihood (63%). From May to October, conditions decline as wind swell takes over (48-71%), and bad wind conditions rise sharply (67-72%), making sessions less reliable despite larger swells (1.4-1.6m). November to January sees a mix of wind and ground swells with moderate wind conditions (40-50% good winds), but February to April remains the prime window for quality, well-shaped waves with minimal wind interference.
