Conditions at Multedo in May
May: Grovel Mode Engaged
May marks the point where Multedo's surf quality noticeably fades. The average wave height drops to 2ft (0.6m) and the average period falls to 4.9s - squarely in the choppy, low-energy range. Although SW (34%) and SSW (18.6%) still dominate the swell direction, much of it is under 1.5ft (0.5m), so the beach is basically assembling windswell from local breezes. The wind picture turns the knife: SSE is now the most frequent direction at 26.3%, and only 17% of the time are winds ideal for surfing. Water temps warm to 17.7°C and air temps to 15.7°C, making the beach pleasant, but surfers should expect bumpy, small, closeout walls.
