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.

September: Swell Begins to Rebuild

September is a transition month with promising signs. The average swell height inches up to 0.9m, and the period jumps to a healthy 10.1s – long period for the size. Swell direction shows a shift back towards the coveted NE and NNE, with 11.4% coming from the NNE and 30.2% from the NE, including a good amount in the 1-1.5m range. The wind remains largely offshore: 67% ideal flow from the south and southwest. The combination of longer period and occasional bigger sets makes September a month where you can start to get excited. It's still inconsistent, but the first proper autumn swell can show up out of nowhere, offering clean, powerful waves with that perfect offshore texture.
