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.

In January, Muli (Maldives) offers favorable surfing conditions with a consistent swell averaging 1.3m and a solid 11.2s period, ensuring well-formed, powerful waves. The dominant swell directions are from the SSW, SSE, and SE, with SSW contributing the largest proportion of rideable waves (28.78% between 1-1.5m and 4.34% at 1.5-2m). Waves in the 1-2m range are frequent, providing ideal conditions for intermediate to advanced surfers. Wind conditions are favorable 54% of the time, with light to moderate speeds (0-20kph) predominantly from the N, NNE, and NE, reducing the chance of onshore chop. The rare stronger winds (20-30kph) mostly come from northern directions, which can occasionally affect wave quality but are generally manageable. Overall, January delivers reliable, clean waves with good shape and minimal wind disruption, making it a strong month for surfing at this spot.
