May: Westerly Winds Hit Full Stride
May delivers the first true taste of winter quality. Ideal wind reaches 48 percent, among the highest of the year, and the average period climbs to 9.2s. Swell heights hold at around 4ft (1.2m), but the direction mix starts to tilt south: ENE/E/ESE still provide about 41 percent of the energy, while SSE (19 percent), SE (18 percent) and S (12 percent) show the influence of stronger Southern Ocean lows. The shift is a double-edged sword for an east-facing breakwall, but the compensating factor is wind. The SW-WSW-W-WNW offshore quadrant supplies around 32 percent of all observations, and SSW adds another 13 percent; onshore NE-E flow is down to under 10 percent. Rain is low at 1.67 mm/day, air temps cool to 13.4°C and water temp drops to 18.9°C. This is crisp, clean surf - sometimes smaller, but almost always more lined-up and rippable than summer.
