Conditions at Puri in April
April: The Monsoon Build-Up Gets Messy
April is the classic 'bigger but uglier' trade-off. Average swell height climbs to 1.2m (4ft), but the period drops to 8.9s, producing shorter-period, crumbly energy. S swell accounts for 57.6 percent and SSW for 40.2 percent, with a healthy chunk of 1-1.5m (3-5ft) surf and even some 1.5-2m (5-7ft) SSW sets. Yet ideal wind sinks to just 2 percent, as SSW winds take a huge 65.9 percent share and SW adds another 20 percent. This is mostly onshore slop, though a lucky dawn session with light WNW flow might unlock a few 4ft (1.2m) walls. The heat is building - air 30.8°C, water 28.0°C - and daily rainfall is starting to climb to 1.29mm/day.
