Conditions at Coke's in April
April: The Monsoon Flip Begins - South Swell Awakens
April is a classic transition month. The northeast monsoon has effectively collapsed and the southwest monsoon is starting to spin up. The swell rose rotates emphatically to the south: SSE contributes 30.5%, SE 20%, S 14.5% and SSW 9.3%. For the first time in months, the orientation of the swell is right in Coke's wheelhouse. Period also ticks up to 8.2s, adding a touch more power to the mix, even though average height remains modest at 0.8m.
The catch is wind. Flow becomes increasingly westerly - W and WNW combine for over 38% of observations, with WSW close behind. Those directions are not truly onshore for a SSE-facing reef, but they are less reliable than the N/NNE flow of winter. The ideal wind number still reads a healthy 55%, mostly due to moderate speeds and enough NW/NNW windows. Water temperature hits 30.6°C, air temperature is 28.5°C, and rain begins to pick up with 3mm per day. April offers the first worthwhile S/SSW groundswell pulses of the year, and while it is still small, the direction is finally starting to align.
