May: Prime Time Begins
The engine room of the Southern Ocean kicks into gear in May, driving the average swell period up to 9.3s - the longest of the year. Though S (12.3%), SSW (12.1%) and SSE (11.9%) swells dominate the rose, the NE window still offers nearly 20% supply. The SW (17.2%) and WSW (12.1%) wind flow blows offshore for extended stretches, making the rivermouth carve-y and clean. Ideal surf hits 38%. Average heights sit at 5ft (1.6m), but the long-period bumps make it feel much heftier. Water temp falls to 17.9C, so it's time to break out the 3/2 wetsuit.
