April: Bigger Swell Meets the Rainy Transition

April is a turning point. Average swell height rises to 4ft (1.2m) and the average period peaks at 14.0s, while the swell direction becomes almost exclusively SSW at 97.8%. This is clean, long-period groundswell energy, and the size profile improves dramatically: 78% of waves are in the solid 3-5ft (1-1.5m) range, with 6.3% reaching 5-6.5ft (1.5-2m). However, the percentage of ideal wind drops to 21%, and precipitation increases sharply to 2.99mm/day as the Intertropical Convergence Zone begins to migrate north. Air temperatures average 27.6°C and the water temperature peaks at 29.4°C. Early mornings can still deliver offshore N/NE conditions before the sea breeze kicks in, making April a high-ceiling month for surfers willing to chase the clean windows.
