May: Monsoon Flip and the Wrong Swell
May is a weird month on paper - average swell remains 0.5m and period 5.7s, but the source shifts dramatically. The southwest monsoon begins to ramp, and WSW (21%) and SW (13%) swells suddenly appear, while N/NNE/NNW still contribute a combined 41% but at very small heights. The result is a deeply inconsistent mix of tiny leftover north pulses and low-energy SW windswell, none of which work well at NNW-facing Puro Pinget. Winds are more favorable - S (11%), SSW (16%) and SW (10%) combine for a 20% ideal-wind score - but the lack of quality swell direction is the killer. Air temps reach 27.4°C, water a very warm 30.1°C, and precipitation jumps to 6.63mm/day as the wet season begins.
