Conditions at Playa El Mojon in May
May: Maximum Southern Hemisphere Push
May is the peak of the south swell machine at Playa El Mojon. SSW surges to 70.0% of all swell energy, and with S (15.0%) and SW (8.2%) the southern window totals a staggering 93%. No other month focuses the swell so tightly into the zone that lights up this beach. Average wave height bumps to 5.2ft (1.6m), and the average period hits its yearly maximum at 14.1s. This is powerful, freight-train groundswell - 5-7ft (1.5-2.1m) sets are not uncommon, and it will feel a size bigger because of the period.
The catch is the changing weather. Ideal wind still sits at 52%, but precipitation jumps to 1.57 mm/day, and air and water temps climb to 74.8°F (23.8°C) and 85.8°F (29.9°C) respectively. The surf is firing, but you'll be dodging showers and warmer, more humid conditions.
