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.

February at Muli, Maldives, delivers consistent surf with an average swell height of 1.2m and a solid 12s period, providing well-organized waves. The swell direction is predominantly from the south-southwest (SSW), which accounts for the largest share of rideable waves (30% between 1-1.5m and 9.95% between 0.5-1m). Waves in the 1-2m range are frequent, offering ideal conditions for intermediate to advanced surfers, while larger sets (over 2m) are rare. Winds are favorable 59% of the time, mostly light to moderate (10-20kph) and coming from north to northwest directions, which typically align offshore or sideshore for this break, ensuring clean faces. However, stronger winds (>20kph) occasionally occur from northern quadrants, which may chop up conditions. Overall, February is a reliable month for quality waves—expect peaky, mid-sized swells with good shape and minimal wind interference during optimal periods.
