Marami Beach - surf spot statistics

Best Surf Season (October - March)

The North Pacific comes alive during these months, sending consistent, powerful swell trains from the NE and NNE towards Marami Beach. Average wave heights range from 1.3m in October to a pumping 2.0m in January, with periods often exceeding 10 seconds, delivering solid, long-period energy. However, this is when the Northeast Monsoon is at its strongest, dominating the wind regime with onshore flow from the N-NE. The window for truly epic conditions is when a passing low-pressure system or a brief lull in the trades allows for offshore winds from the S-SW. Those rare days, when the wave heights are in the 1.5-2.5m range and the wind shifts southerly, are the stuff of Marami legend. You'll need to be patient, but the payoff is huge.

Fair Surf Season (April - May & September)

As the monsoon transitions, we find a sweet spot compromise. In April and May, the NE swell begins to wane, with average heights dropping to 1.3m and 1.0m respectively. But the wind dial shifts favorably: the percentage of ideal, offshore flow from the S-SW skyrockets to 45% in May. This means you can score clean, fun-sized waves with good shape more often. The wave periods remain solid around 9 seconds, offering punchy, rippable walls. September acts as the mirror season on the other side of summer, with swell starting to build (0.9m) and the wind still largely offshore (67% ideal). It's a groomed, playful period that rewards consistency over power.

Low Surf Season (June - August)

The Southwest Monsoon kicks into full gear from June to August, bringing a near-constant supply of offshore winds from the S-SW. In fact, ideal wind conditions occur 63-74% of the time – the best of the year. However, the trade-off is significant wave famine. Swell heights average a lackluster 0.8m, dominated by short-period windswell from the E and ENE. Periods hover around 9 seconds, producing choppy, groveling conditions at best. It's a great time for beginners to practice in small, clean waves, but for the experienced surfer looking for power, it's strictly a summer slumber.

August: Peak Offshore Season, Still Small

August is the pinnacle of the Southwest Monsoon. Average swell holds steady at 0.8m, but the period improves to 9.6s, offering slightly more push. The dominant swell directions are E (31.8%) and ENE (26.7%), with a significant portion from the ESE (16.7%). Most of the energy is in the 0.5-1m range. What really stands out is the wind: a remarkable 74% of the time, the wind is from the ideal S-SW quadrant, with SSW alone accounting for 19.4%. This is the most reliable offshore wind month. If you're after small, glassy waves with good form, August is your month. Surfable waves are there, but you'll be groveling for every inch of power.
