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.

March: Fading Winter, Lingering Swell

As the calendar shifts toward spring, the North Atlantic begins to settle, but March still delivers a good share of waves. The average swell height remains at 0.8m with a 5.4s period. The SW swell contribution is still the largest at 30.1%, but the percentage of ideal wind drops to 32%, meaning you have to be more selective. The wind patterns shift: N (16.2%) and NNW (26.0%) still dominate, but the onshore component increases, with SSE (20.0%) and SE (11.5%) becoming more prevalent. These onshore winds often accompany the larger SW swells, creating chop and reducing quality. However, when a cold front sweeps through and the wind clocks to N or NE, you get a window of clean, punchy waves. The average period indicates mostly short period windswell (under 6s), but occasional mid-period groundswell (6-9s) can provide surprising power. Keep an eye on the 1-1.5m range from SW (5.3%), which can produce fun, hollow lefts and rights when the tide is right.
