April: Transition and Lighter Trades
April marks a noticeable drop in energy. The average swell comes in at 1.0m (3.3ft) with a period of 5.9s, and ideal wind falls to 6%. E/ENE swells still make up 78% of the wave distribution, but there is less 2m-plus energy and more 0.5-1m (2-3ft) background swell. The trade winds remain the biggest obstacle, with E at 31.6% and ENE at 30.4%, though lighter-wind days become a bit more common. Air temperatures heat up to an average of 26.6°C, water temp is 26.0°C and precipitation climbs to 1.36 mm/day. Surf is generally small and rippable, but you need to pick a morning with lighter winds or a rare west wind to find quality.
