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.

May at Moshi Moshi, Philippines, offers generally favorable surfing conditions, though not the biggest swells of the year. The average swell height is 0.9m with a solid 9.2s period, providing clean, well-spaced waves suitable for intermediate surfers. The dominant swell direction is ENE, accounting for the majority of waves in the 0.5–1.5m range (42% in 0.5–1m and 23% in 1–1.5m), ensuring consistent and rideable conditions. Larger waves (1.5–2m) are less frequent but present (2.4% ENE). Wind conditions are ideal 65% of the time, primarily light to moderate ENE to ESE breezes (5–20kph), keeping the surface clean. Stronger winds are rare, making May a reliable month for surfing here. Expect smaller, playful waves with occasional overhead sets on good days—perfect for performance surfing or honing technique.
