May: The Southwest Monsoon Sparks Up
May is a turning point for Llorente. The southwest monsoon (Habagat) starts to push in, and the wind rose becomes much more balanced. Ideal offshore winds jump to 20% of the time, with SSW (4.0%), SW (2.6%), WSW (1.7%) and W (1.4%) flows finally showing up in the stats. The swell, however, is shrinking: average height drops to 0.9m (3ft) and period to 9.0s. Wave energy is still mostly ENE (60.5%) and E (30.8%), but the vast majority is in the 0.5-1m (2-3ft) class - perfect for groveling, not so much for barrels. Water temp climbs to 29.3°C (85°F) and precipitation is low at 4.87 mm/day. This is the start of the clean-but-small season, and longboarders will have the best of it.
