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 September, Muli offers consistent surf conditions with an average swell height of 1.8m and a solid period of 11.9s, indicating powerful, well-spaced waves. The swell is predominantly SE-SSW (over 70% of waves), delivering clean, rideable energy with heights often between 1.5-2.5m—ideal for intermediate to advanced surfers. Wind conditions are a mixed bag: 27% of the time, winds are light (0-20kph) and favorable (mostly SE-SSW), creating clean faces. However, stronger winds (20-30kph) from SW-WSW can occasionally create chop, particularly in the afternoons. The best sessions will likely occur during mornings or when winds align from the SE-SSE. While larger sets (2m+) appear around 20% of the time, the spot maintains good shape thanks to the extended period, offering both steep takeoffs and walling sections. Pack a step-up board for bigger days, but expect mostly manageable, high-quality waves.
