Conditions at Bozo in May
May: Trade Wind Grovel Season
May is the beginning of the true trade-wind season. Average swell drops to 1.2m (4ft) and average period falls to 8.1s - enough for a rippable wave but far from firing. ENE (42.6%) and E (29.8%) dominate the swell rose, with NE (20.1%) still hanging on; the north-north-east window is very quiet. Most waves sit in the 1-1.5m (3-5ft) range, with only 12% above 1.5m. The wind story is less aggressive than winter in force but still from the ESE (30.5%), E (25.7%) and SE (18.0%), creating a frequent cross-onshore texture. The silver lining is the longest clean-window percentage since the start of the year at 34%, and with water temp at 27.0°C and air at 26.2°C, dawn sessions in a spring suit are genuinely pleasant. Rain increases to 2.50 mm/day, bringing a bit more tropical humidity.
