Conditions at Patrokl in May
May: Small South-Southeast Slop with Serious Spring Warmth
May keeps the average at 2ft (0.6m) and period at 5.6s, but the wind is still decent for surfing 13% of the time. S swell dominates hard at 43%, with SSW at 22% and SSE at 18%, while SE swell reaches 10%, the start of the better directional summer window. That SE energy is usually too weak, however, and with the prevailing wind out of SSE and S, Patrokl often sees lumpy, short-period windswell rather than clean lines. Air temps jump to 10.1C, water reaches 8.9C, and precipitation rises. In a wetsuit without a hood, spring becomes much more pleasant, and the odd clean SE windswell can offer slow, gentle walls for a longboard.
