Conditions at Lido Garda in May
May: Into the Summer Slumber
May marks the slide into summer. Average wave height drops to 2ft (0.6m), period to 4.8s, and ideal offshore wind plummets to 10%. The western quadrant dominates even more, with W waves at 26.2% and WSW at 15.8%, but almost all of it is short-period windswell under 3ft (1m). The thermal engine is now fully running, pushing W (9.9%) and WSW (8.0%) onshore winds while the offshore NNE-NE-ENE-E sector sits at just 12%.
Water is becoming comfortable at 18.6°C, air averages 18.3°C, and precipitation is lower at 1.70 mm/day. Unless a late-season storm lingers over the Alps, expect micro-groveling waves and a lake full of windsurfers.
