April: The Long-Period Season Opens
Now we are talking. April is the gateway to Express Point's best window. Average height climbs to 5ft (1.5m), period lengthens to 12.5s, and ideal wind jumps to 28 percent. The swell rose is a beautiful sight: SW at 52 percent, SSW at 14 percent, WSW at 13 percent and W at 4 percent, meaning almost all incoming energy is aimed at this south-southwest exposure. A large portion of the swells arrive at 5-6.5ft (1.5-2m), with some 6.5-8ft (2-2.5m) sets from SW and WSW. The wind distribution finally tilts in the surfer's favour: NNW becomes the most common single wind quadrant at 11.3 percent, supported by NW at 5.2 percent. Water temperature cools to 17.6°C and rainfall increases to 2.05mm/day - a small price for much better, more powerful surf.
