Conditions at Los Tubos in May
May: Grovel Season Begins
May is the start of the low season in terms of size, but it is by no means flat. Average wave height drops to 4.3ft (1.3m), and the period settles at 6.0s. The wave rose is heavily compressed into ENE (55.4%) and NE (25.3%), with a notable chunk of E (9.5%) - this is pure trade-wind swell from the open Atlantic. Wave heights cluster in the 3-5ft (1-1.5m) range, with ENE alone contributing 33.2% of that class; only a little 5-6.5ft (1.5-2m) energy remains. The wind regime is light: E 36.6%, ESE 25.3%, ENE 16.7%, and ideal wind reaches 83%, so surface conditions are often clean and glassy. Water temp climbs to 27.6°C, air to 26.8°C, and rain becomes more frequent with 4.55mm/day. May is all about grabbing a groveler and making the most of small, rippable waves.
