May: Bottom of the Curve
May is the smallest surf month of the year. Average swell height bottoms out at 1ft (0.3m) and average period holds at a weak 5.5s, meaning most waves are micro and marginal. The directional picture fractures: NNW still contributes 34.7 percent, but WSW jumps to 20.4 percent, W to 14.4 percent, NW to 12.0 percent, and WNW to 9.4 percent. This is the southwest monsoon taking over. Ideal wind is only 9 percent, and with S and SSW winds dominating at 17.2 and 13.4 percent respectively, the surf zone often feels lumpy and rain-soaked. Rainfall jumps to 8.21mm/day and water temp peaks at 30.2°C. Stay patient - this is the true low season.
