Medewi - surf spot statistics

Medewi, Indonesia, is a consistent year-round surf destination with reliable ground swells dominating the swell mix, rarely dropping below 93% in any month. The best conditions for surfers generally occur from April to June when the swell size averages 1.3–1.5m, offering a solid balance of power and rideability. During this period, wind conditions are slightly more favorable compared to the rest of the year, with good wind days peaking at 40% in April before gradually decreasing. The swell quality remains excellent, with almost no wind swell interference and virtually no flat days. The largest swells arrive from July to September, averaging 1.6m, but stronger onshore winds become more prevalent, particularly from August onward, reducing ideal sessions. The least favorable months are December and January, when the swell drops to 1.2m, and wind conditions worsen, with bad winds exceeding 75% of the time. While Medewi is surfable throughout the year due to its high ground swell consistency, mid-year (April–June) provides the best compromise between wave size and manageable winds, making it the prime window for advanced surfers seeking quality right-hand point breaks with minimal interruptions.

In May, Medewi offers consistent surf conditions with an average swell height of 1.4m and a solid period of 14.6s, indicating well-formed, powerful waves. The swell predominantly arrives from the SSW direction, with the majority (50.93%) falling in the 1-1.5m range, while larger sets (1.5-2.5m) are frequent (31.15% combined). This suggests consistent, mid-sized waves with occasional punchy peaks, making it ideal for intermediate to advanced surfers. Wind conditions are favorable 36% of the time, with light to moderate ESE-SE winds (10-20kph) being the most common. However, stronger SE winds (15-30kph) can occasionally create chop, especially in the afternoons. Early mornings often provide cleaner conditions. While occasional easterly winds may slightly degrade wave quality, the long-period SSW swell ensures reliable, well-shaped waves with good power and length—perfect for those who enjoy fast, down-the-line surfing on a long, peeling right-hander. Overall, May delivers dependable surf, but timing sessions around wind shifts will maximize the experience.
