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.

May at Muli, Maldives, offers decent surf conditions with a mix of rideable swells and variable winds. The average swell height is 1.6m with a solid 12.7s period, providing consistent, well-spaced waves. The primary swell direction is SSW (14.4% at 1-1.5m, 23.9% at 1.5-2m), followed by SSE and S, delivering clean, mid-sized waves ideal for intermediate to advanced surfers. Larger sets (2-2.5m) occasionally appear, mostly from the SSW direction. Wind conditions are hit or miss—only 23% of the time are they optimal (light offshore or cross-offshore). The predominant winds are S to SW, often blowing 10-30kph (moderate onshore), which can create chop. However, mornings may see lighter winds, providing cleaner sessions. Overall, May delivers reliable waves with good shape, though wind interference can be a factor. Patience and timing are key for scoring the best conditions.
