May: The Grovel Season Builds
May sees average swell heights ease to 0.7m and period to 7.9s, with ideal wind at 11%. The swell rose becomes overwhelmingly E (37.7%) and ESE (18.8%), and a big chunk of that is under 0.5m - the definition of micro swell. ENE still contributes 22.2%, but much of it sits in the small 0.5-1m range. Meanwhile, the Bermuda High is strengthening, locking in easterly trade winds: E (15.2%), ESE (15.8%) and SE (12.3%) together account for more than 40% of the wind distribution. That means plenty of 1-2ft (0.3-0.6m) ripples and almost no clean power. Water temperature reaches 26.0°C and daily rainfall climbs to 3.35mm as the convective season ramps up. The only decent waves come when an afternoon thunderstorm outflow or a rare frontal boundary produces a temporary westerly breeze, but those are short-lived. This is the month to wax the groveler and chase the odd NW wind morning.
