Conditions at Ingrina in May
May: Clean, Small and Predictable
May settles into the first true summer pattern of the year. Average heights are now 5ft (1.6m) and the period is just 9.8s, so we are dealing with average, punchy, rideable swell rather than groundswell. The northwesterly source continues - NW swell accounts for 39.7% of observations, with NNW at 23.9% and WNW at 16.7% - but the size bins have shifted into the 0.5-1.5m range. The wind is almost monotonously offshore: NNW at 41.6% and NW at 14.2% combine to keep Ingrina clean most mornings, with ideal conditions 25% of the time. Rain drops to 1.20 mm/day and water temperature warms to 17.0°C. For small-wave rippers, May offers a long runway of groveling peaks, while bigger days are fewer but still possible.
