Conditions at Telescopes in April
April: Dawn Patrol Season Begins
April marks the true handover from northwest to southeast monsoon. Ideal wind is up to 35%, and SE/SSE/ESE winds become a regular feature. As the dry season develops, rainfall remains high at 8.93 mm/day, but the blustery westerly flow weakens. Swell is increasingly long-period (13.7 seconds) and slightly bigger, averaging 3-4ft (1.1m), with the SSW direction becoming more dominant at 71%. The S contribution also grows to 15%, adding more raw south groundswell to the mix. For a WNW-facing reef, the increasing south component is less ideal directionally, but the long period and cleaner wind create better wave shape. Water temperature reaches 30.0°C, and early mornings often deliver the cleanest, most rippable waves of the month.
