Conditions at Los Frailes in May
May: Clean Mornings, Breezy Afternoons
May offers the most S/SSE-dominant swell of any month - over 86 percent of the energy arrives from that window - with the average period still sitting at a dreamy 13.8s. Yet the overall quality meter slips because ideal wind time drops to 45 percent as the thermal sea breeze strengthens. Mornings can be genuinely world-class: glassy conditions with consistent 2-3ft (0.6-0.9m) south groundswell and occasional 3-5ft (1-1.5m) sets. By mid-afternoon, the wind usually turns onshore out of the ESE, quickly chopping up the surface. Water temperatures warm to 24.6°C and air temps to 25.8°C. Surf early, choose your waves without hesitation, and enjoy the pure south energy.
