Conditions at Vizag in April
April: Onshore Fever
April is the first true low point of the year. The average swell height builds to 3-4ft (0.9-1.2m), with S (72.6%), SSW (17.0%) and SSE (9.4%) making up almost the entire spectrum. That sounds fine on paper, but the wind is almost always onshore: ideal wind sits at just 4%, while SW (47.7%) and SSW (35.2%) dominate. The 9.0s period means the waves have weight, but the surface is constantly chopped up and the good sandbars turn into closeouts. April is a month for chasing shelter in the lee of the breakwater or simply waiting for a rare N/NW wind event. Air temperatures rise to 29.9°C, water temp is 28.4°C and rain starts to increase at 0.90 mm/day. Approach with low expectations.
