Conditions at Pine Trees in May
May: Summer Lull Sets In
May is one of the slowest months of the year for Pine Trees. Average swell height sits at 3ft (0.9m), but the energy is overwhelmingly from the south: S at 52.2% and SSE at 17.4%, with a secondary SSW component at 19.6%. These small southerly swells are mostly 1.5-3ft (0.5-1m) and poorly aligned for a WSW-facing spot. The period does average a generous 14.0s, but the lack of height prevents the break from really firing. Ideal offshore winds drop to just 14% of the time, and the daily sea breeze blows from WSW/SW/W with moderate strength, making the afternoon a wash. With water temp rising to 25.3°C and rainfall down to 1.65mm/day, it is a beautiful month to be in the water, just not a consistent one for waves.
