Conditions at Tuason Point in May
May: Small Swell, More Offshore Windows
May is the beginning of the low season in terms of size. Average swell height falls to 0.8m (2.6ft) with a period of 9.1s. The spectrum remains heavily ENE (66.7%) and E (14.4%), but the height distribution peaks in the 0.5-1m (1.5-3.3ft) range. This is small, groveling surf by Tuason standards.
The good news is that wind quality improves. Ideal offshore wind now accounts for 12% of the time, with ESE (20.3%) and SE (18.1%) winds becoming the norm. Afternoon sea breezes are often strong, but morning windows with NW/NNW flow offer clean 2-3ft (0.6-0.9m) options. Water temp rises to 29.4°C, and with only 4.9 mm/day of rain, springtime is pleasant for shedding the wetsuit - if you don't mind small waves.
