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.

January at Moshi Moshi offers solid surf conditions with an average swell height of 2.0m and a decent period of 9.5s, delivering consistent, well-formed waves. The predominant swell direction is from the NE to ENE, accounting for the majority of waves in the 1.5–2.5m range, with some larger sets pushing over 2.5m. This results in powerful, clean waves suitable for intermediate to advanced surfers. Wind conditions are less favorable, with only 22% of days providing ideal offshore or light cross-shore winds (typically NE to ENE under 20kph). However, stronger onshore winds are common, particularly from the NE to ENE at 20–30kph, which can create chop. Surfers should prioritize early sessions when winds are lighter. Overall, January is a reliable month for quality surf, but timing around wind shifts is key for optimal conditions.
