Conditions at Injidup Carpark in May
May: Deep Autumn Groundswell
May delivers the first serious winter-style swell pulse of the year. Average wave height jumps to 2.3m, around 7-8ft, with the period holding at a solid 12.9s. The swell angle begins to rotate toward the west: WSW now makes up 16.5% of the spectrum and W, WNW, NW and NNW combine for another 10.1%, giving this west-northwest facing spot more direct, open-ocean energy.
This increase in size comes with a trade-off. Winds are much more mixed than April, with W/WNW/NW/NNW directions contributing roughly 25% of observations, and ideal surfing wind drops to 25%. Still, that remains a solid figure. Air temperatures cool to 18.2°C, water temperature eases to 20.4°C and rainfall increases to 2.70 mm/day. May is a gold-plated shoulder month: bigger swells, still plenty of offshore wind windows, and the quality can be excellent between fronts.
