Conditions at Car-rille in May
May: The Absolute Low Point
May is the worst month of the year at Car-rille. The average swell bottoms out at 0.3m (1ft) with a short, fat period of 5.5s, and only 5 percent of the time does the wind blow ideally. The swell direction becomes a mixed bag as the southwest monsoon begins to develop: WSW (20.4 percent), W (14.4 percent), NNW (34.7 percent) and NW (12.0 percent) all contribute, but almost all of it is under 0.5m. The weather turns wet with average precipitation jumping to 7.89mm/day. Water temperature is a warm 30.2°C, making it feel like bath water. Onshore S and SSW winds dominate, so unless a typhoon drifts near the archipelago to stir up a fat local swell, there is very little to get excited about.
