Conditions at Majestics in May
May: Small, Clean, and Groveling
The southwest monsoon begins to take over in May, and this completely changes the personality of Majestics. Average swell height falls to 3.3ft (1.0m) and the period drops to 8.6s, with energy split between ENE (46.1%) and E (40.1%). The surf is much smaller and has more of a windswell character, but the direction has shifted enough to become more variable.
Wind is where May wins: ideal wind blows 36% of the time, mostly from S, SSW and SW, while the onshore NE monsoon has almost disappeared. That means many more glassy, clean sessions, even if a bigger board and a groveling approach are required. Air averages 28.2°C, water 29.5°C, and rain is moderate at 5.20 mm/day. The waves won't flex any egos, but the lineup is finally user-friendly.
