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.

July: The Absolute Nadir

July is the worst month for surf at Multedo. The average swell height drops to a paltry 0.4m and period to 4.6s. Almost 30% of all swell comes from SW (41.7%), but the vast majority (29.2%) is under 0.5m—barely a ripple. The wind is a disaster for surf quality: ideal conditions happen only 11% of the time. The onshore SSE wind (28.3%) and SE wind (16.8%) dominate, with SSE frequently at 10-20kph (9.8%). This produces nothing but flat, choppy water. The offshore N and NNW winds are weak and infrequent (9.1% and 14.2%). Any small waves that do appear are ruined by onshore texture. It's virtually impossible to get a rideable wave. The only consolation is that the water is warm, so you can enjoy a swim. But for surfers, July is a write-off—plan a trip to a more exposed coast if you need a fix.
