Conditions at Mizata in April
April: Longest Periods, Less Offshore Horsepower
April is the month when Mizata sees the first true Southern Hemisphere ground swells reaching maximum maturity. The average period climbs to 14.1s, the highest of the year, and the average swell height increases to 1.2m (around 4ft). The directional focus is almost absolutely fixed on SSW, which accounts for 85.6% of all swell, with S at 10.4% and SW at 3.6%. This is distant-source swell at its finest, but the wind field begins to lose its winter bite. Ideal offshore winds now sit at just 53%, as the clockwise flow around the North Pacific high weakens and more SE, S and SW winds sneak in under the developing ITCZ. Rain increases to 1.06 mm/day and water temps rise to 29.6°C. When the wind stays offshore, the plus-14s period produces super clean, powerful bowly waves; on other days, early dawn patrol is the safest bet before the sea breeze arrives.
