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.

October: Autumn Awakening

The North Atlantic begins to roar back to life in October. The average swell height rises to 0.7m and period to 5.0s. The shift is felt in the swell direction: while SW (21.7%) is still the top, we see a healthy increase in SSW (13.5%) and a notable contribution from S (5.8%) and even SE (10.6%)—all of which can wrap into Multedo due to its SSW orientation. The wind picture improves further: ideal wind occurs 34% of the time. The dominant wind is NNW (33.4%), mostly 10-20kph (16.5%), providing clean side-offshore conditions. The onshore SSE wind (15.3%) still has a strong presence, but it's balanced by more frequent offshore flows. Swell heights in the 1-1.5m range become more common, especially from SW (3.6%) and SSW (2.1%). This means rippable waves are on the menu with increasing regularity. A typical October day features building SW groundswell with clean NW winds in the morning, giving way to afternoon sea breezes. The magic happens when a deep low pressure system stalls in the Gulf of Genoa, pumping long-period SW swell for two to three days under clear skies and light offshore winds.
