Conditions at Anton Lizardo in May
May: Small, Grovelly and Easterly
By May, the Gulf settles into the late-spring doldrums. Average swell height drops to 0.7m and period to 5.7s, creating waves that need a decent paddle and a forgiving board to get anything out of them. The wave rose reveals a stark easterly dominance: ENE makes up 52.7% of all swell, while NE adds 26.7% and the optimal N/NNE/NE/NNW combination falls to around 40%. This is the beginning of the shadowed period for the north-facing shoreline, with most energy running down east and bypassing the break. Winds follow suit - ENE and NE breezes combine for over a third of all observations, leaving the surface bumpy and lumpy. Ideal offshore conditions still clock in at 21%, often early in the morning before the sea breeze develops. With water at 27.6°C and air at 28.7°C, boardshorts are mandatory and the priority is chasing the clean early-bird sessions.
