Conditions at Pansukian in May
May: Onshore Flow and Summer Lull
May is a classic Philippine grovel month. Average swell height drops to 2.6ft (0.8m) and the period to 9.1s. The swell window becomes more favorable, with ENE at 67%, E at 14% and NE at 14%, but the southwest monsoon is beginning to stir and the wind rose turns hostile. ESE winds at 20%, SE at 18%, E at 16% and SSE at 11% put the onshore side in control, while ideal offshore wind is only 13% of the time. Water temperature warms to 29.4°C, air temperatures average 28.0°C, and rainfall is around 5.5mm per day. Boards with extra foam and low expectations are the call, but the rare NW morning can still turn the small E swell into clean, rippable little waves.
