Mulki is a laid-back surf spot located just north of Mangalore, along the southwestern coast of India. It's an area where the local surf scene is relatively mellow, making it a nice place for both beginners and more experienced surfers looking to relax and enjoy the waves. The Ashram Surf Retreat often uses the nearby Shambhavi River to reach local breaks like Baba's Left, Tree Line, Swami’s, and Water Tank. These spots offer various waves that can be accessed easily, making it convenient for surfers of all levels.

The surf at Mulki is generally best with a southwest swell direction, but it can handle swells coming from the south and northwest as well. It's suitable for small to medium swells, typically around 1 ft (0.3 meters). The waves tend to break over sand, with both left and right beach breaks available for surfers to ride. No matter what your skill level is, the conditions here are quite forgiving, especially with low to mid and high tide heights being favorable. If you're a beginner, this spot can be a great place to catch some waves with the right east wind.

While Mulki is primarily known for its accessibility and manageable waves, it's important to remember that conditions can change. Be sure to check the local surf reports and chat with fellow surfers to get the latest info on the best times to hit the water. Enjoy your time surfing in Mulki!
