Conditions at Moshi Moshi in May
May: Cleanest, Smallest Transition
May posts the highest percentage of ideal surf wind of the year at 73%, but also the smallest average swell of the pre-summer season at 2ft (0.7m) and an 8.9s period. The swell direction shifts even further east - ENE 63%, E 27% - so Moshi Moshi is not seeing a true north swell. Instead, you get a clean, glassy expanse of small, crumbly 1-3ft (0.3-1m) waves. This is log and mid-length territory, or a training month for paddling fitness. The winds are dominated by E/ESE/SE/SSE light breezes, but the offshore S/SSW/SW/WSW fraction is higher than any other month. Water temp hits 29.3°C, air 27°C, and rainfall remains low at 6.34mm/day. If you're willing to ride grovelers, May is as inviting as it gets in terms of surface texture.
