Conditions at Bedhuge in April
April: Offshore Winds Arrive, East Swell Departs
The southwest monsoon starts to take hold in April, and Bedhuge sees one of the highest ideal-wind percentages of the year at 65 percent. The onshore easterly winds drop out almost completely, replaced by WSW at 18.4 percent, W at 23.7 percent, WNW at 17.0 percent, and SW at 8.1 percent. However, the swell direction has shifted too: E and ENE swell disappear from the rose, and the ocean is now dominated by SSE at 34.5 percent, S at 25.5 percent, SSW at 16.2 percent, and SW at 9.4 percent. Average height holds around 3ft (1m) with a period of 7.0s. For an east-facing reef, this is a trade-off: the ocean is cleaner and more inviting, but the lack of direct east energy means smaller, more playful waves. Rainfall increases to 4.16mm/day as the monsoon transitions, with air temperature at 28.4°C and water temperature at 29.9°C.
