May: The Cleanest Trade-Wind Month
May is one of the best months of the year at Pine Grove. The ideal wind percentage jumps to 61 percent, and the swell direction becomes heavily dominated by ESE (64.2 percent), with E at 20.1 percent and SE at 13.9 percent. Average wave height remains 2-3ft (0.8m) and period 6.0s, but the consistency and clean presentation are much better than in winter. E wind is still present at 32.5 percent, but ESE (33.2 percent) and SE (13.1 percent) combine to produce regular offshore and cross-offshore flow for this north-facing beach. That means morning and midday sessions are frequently glassy, with small, racy trade peaks peeling along the sandbars. Water temp warms to 27.5°C, air temp averages 26.8°C, and rainfall increases to 4.55mm/day. Bring a high-volume shortboard or a fish and enjoy the most user-friendly waves of the spring.
