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.

August at Muli, Maldives, offers consistent surf with an average swell height of 1.9m and a solid 11.8s period, ensuring well-formed, powerful waves. The swell predominantly arrives from the SE to SSE (around 75% of the time) with heights between 1.5-2.5m, ideal for intermediate to advanced surfers. However, wind conditions are less favorable, with only 14% of days providing ideal offshore or light cross-shore winds (mostly from the NW to NE quadrant). The majority of winds come from the SSE to SW at 10-30kph, which can create choppy or cross-shore conditions. While the swell quality is reliable, wind interference means patience is key for the best sessions. Overall, expect strong, clean waves when the winds align, but be prepared for variable surface conditions due to prevailing SE trade winds.
