April: Chasing the Last Big Rains
April continues the high-energy wet season, though the equinoctial peak is beginning to fade. Open-ocean swell remains nil in the data - 0ft (0m) and 0.0s - but rainfall is at its yearly maximum at 10.94 mm/day, so river flow stays strong. The wind distribution spreads slightly more into the east: ENE rises to 29.4% alongside NE at 38.1% and NNE at 16.5%, with a strong share of ENE flow at 10-20kph. It is still not ideal offshore wind - the 0% ideal statistic makes that clear - but the heavy river discharge and solid spring tides can still generate quality bores. Water temp is 28.1°C. If you are lucky enough to hit a new or full moon early in the month, expect lively, powerful surf. Average air temperature is 25.6°C.
