May: Maximum N/NW Frequency, Minimum Power
May serves up the most N/NW directional frequency of the year: NW totals 18.5%, WNW 17.4%, and the ideal N/NNE/NW/NNW sector approaches 30%. The average height is only 3-4ft (1.1-1.2m) and the period drops to 6.1s, so most of that extra direction is small, short-period North Sea windswell. W and WNW winds dominate at 12.7% and 13.9% respectively, while offshore flow sits at just 18%. Water temperature warms to 10.3°C and air to 10.7°C. May is a longboard and funboard month, with clean days growing more frequent but real power still rare.
