Conditions at Badoc Point in May
May: In-Between and Inconsistent
May is the true minimum in size. Average swell height drops to 2ft (0.7m) and period falls to 6.5s, the lowest of the year. The swell direction becomes a mash-up: NNE/NE is still present, but SW (12.8%) and WSW (12.5%) appear as the southwest monsoon begins to breathe, and the favorable NW/NNW window climbs to roughly 15%. That is a decent angle mix for Badoc, but the energy is too small and too short-period to translate into meaningful waves.
Winds are mixed between E/SE offshore flows and building SSW/SW monsoon flows. Rain increases to 6.00mm/day and water temperature rises to 30.0 degrees Celsius. If a pre-typhoon trough produces a clean NW swell, fun-sized waves can show. In an average week, though, May is a groveling month.
