Conditions at Lanuza in May
May: Glassy Windows but Minimal Swell
May is the month with the highest percentage of ideal wind, rated at 48 percent of the time. This is the cleanest surface Lanuza sees all year. The problem is a total lack of size: average swell drops to 0.7m (2.3ft) and period to 8.9s. ENE still leads the wave rose at 62.7 percent, with E at 27.4 percent and NE at just 6.4 percent. Most waves fall in the 0.5-1m range, so you are surfing small, fun-sized, groveling waves on the sandbars and reef corners. Air temps average 27°C, water temp heats up to 29.4°C, and precipitation is low at 6.34mm/day. With light winds and warm water, May is perfect for beginners or logging miles, but the lack of north swell is limiting for serious surfers.
