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.

November: Peak Consistency

November stands as one of the best months of the year at Multedo. The average swell height is 0.9m with a period of 5.5s, and the percentage of ideal wind hits 49%. Swell direction is dominated by SW (23.1%) and SSW (12.1%), with healthy contributions from NNW (13.8%) and N (9.8%)—these northerly swells tend to be shorter period but can provide fun waves when combined with offshores. The wind pattern is textbook: NNW (41.5%) and N (19.1%) are the primary winds, with NNW blowing 10-20kph a whopping 24.7% of the time, creating nearly perfect side-offshore conditions. The onshore SSE wind (12.9%) is less frequent than in autumn. Swell heights in the 1-1.5m range account for over 20% of the total, and we start to see waves over 1.5m (2-2.5m at 1.6% from SW). This translates to consistent waist-to-chest high surf with occasional head-high sets. The period distribution begins to include more 6-9s waves, providing punchy, powerful rides. November is the month to book a trip—expect plenty of clean, fun surf with reliable offshore winds.
