Conditions at Taito in April
April: The Swell Window Starts to Falter
April marks the beginning of Taito's directional letdown. Average size holds at 1.3m (4ft), but the period drops to 8.6s and the dominant swell directions become ESE (17.6%), E (15.7%), and SE (15.4%). The preferred NE-ENE window now captures only about 36% of all incoming energy, and much of that is shorter-period. The saving grace is wind: ideal offshore flow reaches 24%, with SW (14.2%) and SSW (11.7%) becoming more frequent. Onshore NNE/NE flow is still around 35%, so it remains a mix of clean days and choppy days. Air temps climb to 14.7°C, water temps are 16.8°C, and rainfall increases to 4.37 mm/day. April is best approached as a transitional month: not as powerful as winter, not as clean as late spring, but with enough E/ENE swell to make a properly timed offshore day worth the drive.
