April: Monsoon Transition and Building South Swell
April is where the northeast monsoon begins to lose its grip. Ideal wind drops to 33 percent, and the wind rose flips toward W (23.9 percent), WSW (19.8 percent), WNW (16.3 percent) and SW (9.7 percent), which spells increasing onshore/cross-shore texture at Love Charms. Swell direction makes a full shift to S (37.2 percent), SSE (35.5 percent) and SSW (15.5 percent), providing some excellent direction for the reef. The average height increases to 1.3m (4.5ft), and with an average period of 10.9s, the surf has real power; portions of the S and SSW swells reach the 1.5-2.5m (5-8ft) range.
Air temperatures sit near 28.4°C, rainfall rises to 4.17 mm/day, and water temps peak at 30.1°C. It is the classic transition: more size but less glass. The best windows are early mornings, especially when a light NW/NNW breeze lines up with a fading south swell.
