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.

November at Medewi offers consistent surf with an average swell height of 1.2m and a solid period of 13.6s, ensuring well-organized, powerful waves. The primary swell direction is SSW, dominating with 60.62% of waves in the 1-1.5m range and 16.23% reaching 1.5-2m, providing dependable rideable conditions. The SW direction also contributes, though less frequently. Wind conditions are variable, with only 20% of the time being ideal (light offshore or sideshore). SE to SSE winds are most common, often blowing at 10-20kph (9.54% SSE, 4.50% SE), which can create some chop, though lighter winds below 10kph prevail (8.98% SSE, 9.04% SE). Stronger winds are rare. Expect a mix of clean and slightly textured waves, best in the early mornings before winds pick up. Advanced surfers will appreciate the long, peeling rights, while the consistency ensures plenty of opportunities despite occasional wind interference.
