Conditions at Dwarka in April
April: Perfect Swell, Wasted by Onshore Winds
April's swell direction is nearly perfect - WSW and SW together dominate 75 percent of the wave spectrum, with 3-5ft (1-1.5m) waves well represented and an average height of 3ft (0.9m). The 10.2s period still gives the swell some punch, and Dwarka would be firing if the wind would just cooperate. It does not. Ideal offshore flow collapses to 3 percent, with strong W, WNW and WSW winds blowing directly onshore for most of the month.
The pattern is a classic pre-monsoon setup: intense solar heating over northern India generates a deep thermal trough and strong westerly and northwesterly winds. The result is onshore chop on what should be groomed swell. Air temps reach 27C and water temp is 27C; the surf is still rideable for the desperate, but usually lumpy and hard to read.
