Malik's - surf spot statistics

Malik’s in the Maldives offers consistent surf conditions year-round, but the best months for surfers are from February to April and again from November to December. During February, ground swell dominates (82%) with a solid 58% chance of good wind conditions, making it one of the most reliable months for clean waves. March continues this trend with the highest ground swell frequency (89%) and manageable wind conditions (46% good). April still maintains strong ground swell (90%), but wind conditions deteriorate sharply (only 9% favorable), making it less ideal despite the swell consistency. From November to December, ground swell presence improves (66–77%) and wind conditions become more favorable again (14–40% good), with November offering slightly better wind stats. The swell size remains moderate (0.8–1.1m), ideal for intermediate surfers. May to October sees larger swells (1.1–1.5m), but strong onshore winds dominate (87–98% bad conditions), making these months less suitable unless you're willing to compromise on wind quality. Overall, February and March are prime for clean, consistent waves, while November and December provide a secondary window with decent swell and improving winds. Avoid April through October if you prioritize favorable wind conditions.
