Muli - surf spot statistics

Muli in the Maldives offers consistent surf conditions year-round, with the best months for surfers being February through April. During this period, ground swell dominates (69-78%), providing clean and well-organized waves, while wind conditions are generally favorable (51-60% good winds). Swell size averages 1.2-1.4m, ideal for intermediate to advanced surfers looking for quality rides without excessive power. March stands out as the peak month, combining the highest ground swell percentage (77%) and relatively good wind conditions (60%). From May onward, conditions deteriorate as wind quality drops significantly (below 30% good winds from May-October), leading to choppier surf, despite larger swells (peaking at 2.0m in July). The late season (November-December) sees a slight improvement in wind conditions, but ground swell remains modest (around 55%). For surfers prioritizing clean waves and manageable size, the early-year window is optimal, whereas those chasing bigger but less pristine surf may tolerate the less favorable winds of June-August. Avoid May-October if consistent offshores are a priority.

April at Muli, Maldives, offers solid surf conditions with a decent balance of swell and wind. The average swell height is 1.4m, paired with a strong 12.9s period, ensuring well-formed and powerful waves. The dominant swell direction is from the SSW, contributing over 50% of waves in the 1-2.5m range—ideal for intermediate to advanced surfers. Clean conditions are frequent, with 51% of days seeing favorable offshore or light cross-shore winds, mainly from the W to SSW. However, strong SW-WSW winds (10-30kph) occur around 20-30% of the time, potentially creating choppier surf. The swell consistency is reliable, with 85% of waves measuring 0.5m or larger, and 15% reaching 1.5-2.5m—great for turns and carves. While smaller days exist, the spot rarely flattens out completely. Overall, April delivers dependable, high-quality waves with good shape, though wind variations may require timing sessions for optimal glassy conditions.
