May: The Summer Lull Begins
May ushers in the serious summer lull. Average wave height collapses to 1.3ft (0.4m), period 4.2s, and ideal wind blows only 9 percent of the time. The wave rose is dominated by WNW (25%) and W (14%) windswell, but nearly all of it is in the smallest category, under 0.5m. Onshore winds become the main weather feature: W (14.3%), WNW (12.2%) and NW (6.9%) together make up more than a third of all wind. Water temperature is already 19.3°C, air temperature averages 19.0°C, and precipitation is only 1.11mm/day. Surfing is still possible on a longboard, especially in the early morning if the wind swings E/ESE, but do not expect much push.
