Conditions at Tago River in May
May: Small but Silky Offshore Windows
By May the SW monsoon is taking over and the character changes dramatically. Average wave height falls to around 3ft (1.0m) with a 9.1s period. Swell direction is still mostly ENE (71%), but the energy is small: 42% of all waves sit in the 1.5-3ft (0.5-1m) grovel zone, with another 27% at 3-5ft (1-1.5m). The good news is wind. Ideal offshore S/SSW/SW/WSW flow is present about 21% of the time, and overall ideal wind reaches 39%. Plenty of mornings will offer glassy, small, peelable waves for a longboard or groveler - but not much power.
Air temperatures warm to 27.0°C (23.4-37.2°C), precipitation is low at 6.34 mm/day, and water temp nudges up to 29.4°C.
