Conditions at Dwarka in May
May: Monsoon Surge Brings Size and Chaos
May marks the first big jump in swell for Dwarka, with average wave height climbing to 4ft (1.3m) and many waves in the 4-6ft (1.2-1.8m) range. Swell direction is locked into the SW/WSW window, meaning the spot sees plenty of head-high to slightly overhead surf. The average period drops to 9.3s, though, giving the swell a more windswell-like, punchy character rather than clean groundswell.
Ideal wind is at 0 percent. The wind rose shows WSW, W and SW winds blowing 10-30kph and often stronger, exactly at the beach in an onshore direction. As the monsoon approaches, humidity and cloud increase while rain begins to appear. Air temps hover near 28C and water temp is already 29C. This is the start of the messy season: size is there, but quality is quickly disappearing.
