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.

October at Muli, Maldives offers solid surfing conditions with an average swell height of 1.6m and a favorable period of 11.4s, ensuring well-formed and consistent waves. The primary swell directions are SSE to SSW, with the best energy coming from SE to SSW—these angles produce the majority of waves in the 1-2.5m range, making up a significant portion of the swell distribution. Wind conditions are the main variable, with only 29% of days offering ideal offshore or light cross-shore winds (typically from the E to NE). However, the predominant winds are SW to W, which can create choppier conditions. Stronger winds (20-30+ kph) from the WSW-W quadrant are common, potentially affecting wave quality. For surfers, the best days will be when ENE or E winds align with the SE-SSW swell, offering clean, powerful, and hollow waves. Expect a mix of surfable days, but patience may be needed for optimal conditions.
