Conditions at Supersuck in May
May: Dry Season Gold
May is where the stars align. The average swell has grown to 1.5m (5ft) and the period peaks at 14.2s, giving Supersuck real long-period power. The direction is still dominated by SSW (66.5%) with a strong S component (24.1%), pushing plenty of 1.5-2.5m (5-8ft) waves into the region. At the same time, the ESE-SE trade wind machine is roaring (ESE 47.3%, SE 30.5%), producing offshore flow 73% of the time. The result is clean, powerful, well-ordered surf. Rain drops to just 2.09mm/day, air temp is a pleasant 26.0°C and water is 29.2°C.
This is the beginning of the core dry-season window - expect lined-up SSW groundswell reeling down the reef with offshore texture.
