Conditions at Pasta Point in April
April: The Cleanest Air of the Year, Smaller Juice
April is the peak month for clean, groomed conditions, with ideal wind hitting 61% for the year. NW (10.5%) and WNW (18.9%) flow, along with a strong W component, keep the reef looking inviting. The swell direction swings toward the south: SSE (30.5%) and SE (20.0%) are the biggest sources, but S (14.5%), SSW (9.3%), SW (5.9%) and WSW (4.1%) add a healthy slice of optimal energy. Average size is still small, around 2-3ft (0.8m), with periods at 8.2s. Waves are clean but not powerful, so a log or a grovel board will get the most out of April. Rain begins to increase to 3.03mm/day, and water temperature rises to 30.6°C while air sits near 28.5°C. If you find a glassy morning with a touch of south swell, April is a hidden gem.
