Conditions at Sultans in April

April: The Cleanest Month, But Small

April gives Sultans the best wind conditions on paper, with an ideal offshore-wind score of 64 per cent. The wind rose has flipped to a dominant W (19.1 per cent), WNW (18.9 per cent) and WSW (14.1 per cent) flow, which keeps the southeast-facing reef groomed for hours at a time. The trade-off is wave height: the average drops to 2.6ft (0.8m), and the swell window shifts to SSE (30.5 per cent), SE (20 per cent) and S (14.5 per cent), all in the small, rideable size range. The average period of 8.2s is the best yet, which adds texture and draw to what would otherwise be mush. Water temperature reaches 30.6°C, air sits at 28.5°C, and rainfall increases to 3.03mm/day. For high-performance small-wave surfing, April is a surprisingly good pick.
