Conditions at Punta Burros in May
May: Southwest Pulses and Warmer Water
May is a solid transitional month with variable conditions. The average swell height holds at 1.1m (3.6ft) and the period remains a long 14.0 seconds, but the swell source has now shifted decisively to the southwest: SW contributes 43.3%, WSW 46.0%, and SSW 1.4%. This is the onset of the eastern Pacific's summer swell machinery. The wind, however, becomes less flawless. Ideal wind drops to 81%, as NNW (30.9%) and NW (23.7%) face off against the first intrusions of southerly flow. Rain remains scarce (0.31 mm/day), and the sea surface temperature climbs to 26.8°C. Sessions are often clean in the morning, but late-day south winds can onshore the lineup. If you score it right, May offers long-period, west-southwest swell with fun, rippable waves.
