May: Trade-Wind Cleanliness Meets Summer Lull
The summer lull becomes apparent in May as average swell height slips to 3-4ft (0.9-1.2m) and period shortens to 8.7s. By now, ENE (38%) and NE (26%) are the only real swell sources, while optimal N/NNW/NW energy accounts for barely 3%. The good news is that the wind regime has become far more favorable, with 63% of hours blowing from the offshore S/SW directions. This produces clean, glassy surfaces on the smaller wave days, but you will need a groveler or a small-wave board to get the most from the shoulder-high sets. The tropical Atlantic is waking up-air temp reaches 27.2°C, water 27.9°C, and precipitation climbs to 3.6mm/day. For the casual surfer, May can still offer fun morning sessions; for the swell-chaser, it is a soft transition month.
