Conditions at Warroora Station in May
May: Winter Locks In
May is when Warroora Station hits its winter stride. Average swell rises to 1.5m (4.9ft) and the mean period reaches 13.7s, with SW swell accounting for nearly 56% of the total and SSW adding another 26%. The 1.5-2m (5-6.5ft) range becomes a major part of the mix, and with the long 13.7s period, the wave quality becomes noticeably more powerful and organized.
The wind climate also lines up. Ideal E/ESE/SE/SSE offshores are present 34% of the time - the best of any month - and SE/SSE directions are now a true daily feature. This combination of long-period Southern Ocean groundswell and clean offshore flow makes May a prime month for the coast. Water temp is still warm at 26.1°C, air averages 23.4°C, and rainfall is modest at 0.84mm/day.
