Conditions at Punta Conejo in May
May: Peak Period, Maximum Cleanliness
May delivers the longest average swell period of the year at 13.6s, and the swell direction is overwhelmingly favorable-SSW at 63.9% and due S at another 17.0%. The wave heights are not huge, averaging around 4-5ft (1.4m), but those numbers hide the quality: long-period 3.3-4.9ft (1-1.5m) SSW swells are some of the cleanest, most rippable waves Punta Conejo sees. There are also 14.4% in the 5-6.6ft (1.5-2m) range from SSW and 1.9% at 1.5-2m from S, so head-high-plus sets are not uncommon. Wind-wise, the mix is still S-heavy in the afternoons-S winds total 26.8%, with another 8.4% from SSW-but N and NNE contributions (13.2% and 13.1%) provide more morning windows. The ideal wind score is 36%. Water temp reaches 30.1°C, air 29.2°C, and tropical moisture starts increasing at 2.31 mm/day.
