May: The Summer Onshore Machine
May is the official transition to flatness at Mayport Poles. The average wave height stagnates at 2ft (0.6m), the period shortens to 6.3s, and the swell direction shifts hard into the southeast quadrant - ESE 34.0%, E 21.1%, SE 20.4% and ENE 12.0%. Almost all of that is sub-3ft (1m) windswell. The winds tell the story: ESE (10.9%), SE (11.5%), SSE (10.3%) and E (8.9%) keep the beach under a persistent onshore breeze. Offshore west/northwest winds are scarce, and ideal surfing wind is only 10%. Add a summer seabreeze almost every afternoon, and you are left with short-period, sectiony, small waves. Water temps climb to 24.9°C, air averages 24.0°C, and rain is 2.63 mm/day - okay for fishing, less so for surfing.
