May: Trade Wind Windswell

The summer pattern takes hold. Average swell drops to 3ft (0.9m) and period to 7.4s. ENE swells lead at 25%, with E at 21%, but almost all of that is short-period windswell in the 1-3ft range. The Bermuda High pushes persistent ESE/SE onshore winds, ideal time falls to 14%, and most days are soft and lumpy. Early-morning sessions can still offer clean small waves on a longboard or groveler, but board selection becomes critical. Water is 25.7°C, air is 25.7°C, and afternoon showers pick up to 3.8mm/day.
