Conditions at Ombak Tujuh in May
May: Peak Season Arrives - Big Swell and Cleaner Skies
May delivers the best statistical combination of the year: 56% ideal wind, average swell 6-7ft (1.9m), and a long-period 13.9s. The prevailing ESE/SE trades are now fully engaged (ESE 38%, SE 32.2%), but they remain mostly cross-shore and are frequently light enough to leave the southwest-facing break well groomed. Swell from S (43.7%) and SSW (36%) feeds in consistently, with more than 37% of all waves in the 1.5-2m range and another 26% in the 2-2.5m range. Air temperature is 27.9°C, water temperature 29.3°C, and precipitation drops to 6.6mm/day. This is serious, powerful surf with plenty of clean, rippable moments-arguably the finest month of the season.
