May: The Reliability Peak
May keeps the crown for consistency. The average height rises to 1.1m (3-4ft), the period stays at 14.1s, and the ideal-wind figure holds at 66%. S and SSW once again dominate the swell rose, but the height distribution shifts noticeably: 54% of all waves now sit in the 1-1.5m (3-5ft) range and 2.9% are 1.5-2m (5-6.5ft), which translates into fun, solid, rippable conditions. W and WNW winds are the main offshore players, with W alone at 16%. The water warms to 24.0°C and precipitation is a negligible 0.02mm/day - a near-perfect surf month.
