Conditions at Juno Pier in May
May: Trade Winds Take Over
May slides further into the warm-season pattern. Average swell height drops to 3ft (0.9m), the period fades to 7.4s, and ideal wind falls to 18%. The swell rose is packed with ENE (25%), E (21%), NE (18%) and ESE (13%)-together more than three-quarters of all wave energy. That sounds favorable, but most of it is short-period windswell generated by the same E/ESE/SE trades that blow onshore at Juno. ESE and E winds alone account for 30% of the wind observations, so the surface is often bumpy and disorganized. A late-season front or an early tropical wave can still deliver clean 2-4ft (0.6-1.2m) waves, especially if the wind swings westerly. Water temp is already 27°C (80°F), and rainfall increases to about 3.8mm/day.
