April: The Trade Wind Alignment
April is when Lakey Peak turns the corner. The southeast monsoon begins to lock in, and offshore winds dominate: combined ESE, SE and SSE flow makes up over 50% of the wind distribution, with E also contributing 13%. Ideal surf windows jump to 79%. Swell energy is still moderate - average 4ft (1.3m) - but now it is almost entirely from the SSW (72%) and SW (22%), arriving on a cleaner, longer 13.9s period. The 3-5ft (1-1.5m) range dominates and there is a good share of 5-6.5ft (1.5-2m) energy. With just 3.44mm/day of rain and 29.3°C water, the reefs start to groom into perfect, rippable shape. This is the first month of the year where consistent quality is the rule, not the exception.
