Moshi Moshi - surf spot statistics

Moshi Moshi in the Philippines offers surfable conditions year-round, but the best months for experienced surfers are typically from October to March when swell energy and size are more favorable. During this period, the mean swell size ranges from 1.5m to 2.0m, with October standing out due to its high ground swell contribution (40%) and manageable bad wind conditions (52%). The early months of the year, particularly January and December, also provide decent swell size (2.0m and 1.9m respectively), though wind conditions are less ideal, with bad winds peaking at 78% in January. From April onwards, swell size drops significantly, averaging below 1.3m, and wind conditions improve, but the lack of substantial swell makes these months less desirable for advanced surfers. May to September sees the smallest waves (0.7m–0.9m) and higher chances of no swell, particularly in June and July. While wind conditions between May and September are better (good wind percentages ranging from 59–65%), the diminished swell size and increased wind swell dominance make these months better suited for beginners or longboarding. For optimal performance surfing with solid ground swells and acceptable wind conditions, October is the clear standout, followed by November and the early-year window from January to March. The trade-off between swell quality and wind favorability means surfers should prioritize October for the best balance.

August at Moshi Moshi offers decent surf conditions with a mix of small to moderate waves. The average swell height is 0.8m with a solid period of 9.3s, providing enough energy for clean, rideable waves. Most swells come from the NE to ENE (38.5% of waves in the 0.5-1.5m range) and SSE to SE (19.5% in the same range), ensuring a variety of angles, though ENE swells dominate the mid-size waves (28.1% at 0.5-1m). Wind conditions are favorable 60% of the time, with light to moderate breezes primarily from the SW to SSE (mostly 10-20kph), minimizing onshore choppiness. Expect the best sessions when ENE swells combine with lighter SE winds, offering clean, waist-high waves with occasional chest-high sets. Smaller days (0.5-1m) are frequent (64.8% of the time), making it suitable for longboarding or beginners, while overhead waves are rare. Consistency is moderate—pack a performance shortboard for peak swells and a fish or hybrid for average days.
