April: A Groveling Transition Month
April signals the seasonal slide into smaller, weaker surf. Average swell height is 0.9m (3.0ft) with a period of 6.5s. The wave rose is dominated by 71.5% ESE, 16.8% E and 11.3% SE, meaning the swell is arriving from a slightly more southerly angle. Over half of April's waves (56.2%) are in the 0.5-1m (1.6-3.3ft) grovel range, with 28.8% in the 1-1.5m (3.3-4.9ft) class. The onshore trade winds remain strong: ENE through SE blows over 80% of the time, and ideal offshore wind is just 8%. Water temp is 27.0°C and air temp 24.8°C, but the rainy season is starting to build at 1.15 mm/day. It is not a write-off, but April is more about small waves and tricky surface conditions than quality.
