Multedo - surf spot statistics

Best Surf Season (December - January - November)

The heart of the North Atlantic winter drives the most consistent and powerful swell trains into the Ligurian Sea, and Multedo reaps the rewards. With average swell heights hovering around 0.9m and periods often pushing into the 5.5-5.6s range, you get a steady diet of fun-sized to solid waves. The real gem? Offshore winds from the north quadrant blow a remarkable 49-52% of the time, meaning clean, groomed faces are the norm. When a strong low pressure system stalls in the Gulf of Genoa, expect SW swell to wrap in beautifully under crystal-clear skies.

Fair Surf Season (October - February - March)

As the seasons transition, the consistency drops off but the potential for quality sessions remains. October and March see average heights around 0.7-0.8m with periods averaging 5.0-5.4s. The wind ratios fall to 32-34% ideal, so you have to pick your windows. Typically, a passing cold front will swing the wind N-NW for a day or two, creating a clean, punchy wave on the building SW swell. It's a game of patience, but when the timing aligns, the reward is a rippable, uncrowded lineup.

Low Surf Season (April - September)

From late spring through early autumn, the Mediterranean settles into a more docile state. The dominant weather pattern shifts to a persistent thermal low that draws in onshore S and SSE winds, spoiling the surface texture. Swell heights drop dramatically—down to 0.4-0.5m from June through August—and periods shorten to 4.4-4.9s, producing weak, choppy waves. While a stray SW groundswell can still sneak in, the odds of scoring clean waves are slim. The ideal wind percentage plummets to 11-25%, making this a season better suited for a beach day than a serious surf session.

February: Holding the Pattern

February continues the winter momentum, with an average swell height of 0.8m and period of 5.4s. The dominant SW swell direction (28.1%) remains the lifeblood of the break, followed by SSW (12.7%). The percentage of ideal wind drops slightly to 41%, but still offers plenty of clean sessions. The wind rose shows the same primary patterns: N (17.2%) and NNW (36.3%) dominate, with the bulk of NNW winds in the 10-20kph range (19%)—these are side-offshore and keep the wave face manageable. Onshore winds from S and SSE are present (S 7.9%, SSE 17.1%), but these tend to be light (0-10kph over 10% of the time) and often occur with smaller swells. The real highlight is the increased frequency of solid 1-1.5m waves from SW, which make up 5.2% of the total—perfect for rippable walls. Expect a steady diet of waist-to-chest high surf with occasional head-high sets when a strong low pressure spins up in the Ligurian Sea.
