Conditions at Aviones in May
May: The Sweet Spot for Clean Small Waves
May is one of the best months of the year at Aviones. The average swell height remains small at 0.8m (2-3ft) with a 6.0s period, but the wind is ideal 49 percent of the time, the highest of the year. The swell mix is heavily biased toward ESE at 64.2 percent, with E at 20.1 percent and SE at 13.9 percent, producing consistent but modest trade-wind energy.
With lighter E and ESE winds and more SE/SSE flow, the surface can stay surprisingly clean. Water temperature warms to 27.5°C, air temperature averages 26.8°C, and rainfall increases to 4.55 mm/day as tropical moisture builds. This is prime fish-board weather: small, fun, rippable, and forgiving when the wind behaves.
