Moshi Moshi - surf spot statistics

Best Surf Season (November - March)

The NE monsoon delivers a pulse of energy, but unfortunately from a largely unfavourable direction. Swell originates from the NE to ENE, which is partially blocked or produces weak, refracted waves at Moshi Moshi's NNW exposure. Average wave heights hover around 1.0-1.3m with periods of 9-10s, offering some rideable but often weak, lined-up sets. Offshore wind windows are limited as the predominant NE trades are onshore, but occasional S to SW shifts can clean things up, especially early mornings. This period delivers the most consistent swell, even if quality is often compromised.

Fair Surf Season (April - May)

The transition between monsoons brings a significant increase in offshore wind potential from the S to SW quadrant. Wind ideal percentages climb to 69-73%, meaning many days with light to moderate offshore breezes. Swell drops to 0.7-0.9m on average, with periods around 9s. The dominant ENE swell becomes smaller and weaker, but the cleaner conditions can make even small waves more fun. This is the go-to window for glassy, small-wave sessions.

Low Surf Season (June - October)

The SW monsoon dominates, with winds predominantly from the S to W, which are offshore for Moshi Moshi. However, swell energy plummets to an average of 0.5-0.7m. The fetch is limited and swell periods are short (8-10s). While the wind is often offshore, the complete lack of significant swell means mostly flat or micro conditions. Brief windows of opportunity occur when a typhoon or tropical storm in the South China Sea sends longer-period WNW to NW swell, but these events are rare and unpredictable. For the most part, it's a time for rest and travel.

April: Glassy Days, Diminishing Swell

Swell continues to fade to an average of 0.9m with period 9.1s. Wind ideal peaks at 69%, with offshore winds from S to SW becoming common. Swell direction remains heavily ENE (77.7%), though some E (7.5%) and NNE (1.2%) join the mix. The lack of significant groundswell means mostly windswell or background energy. Perfect for logging or longboarding on cleaner days. If you're after any surf, it will be small and weak, but the offshore breezes make for pleasant sessions.
