April: Long-Period Southern Groundswell Grinds
April is where the year really turns the corner. The average period jumps to 12.8s, and SSW swell accounts for a massive 58.8% of the wave rose. The vast majority-44.9%-is in the 3.3-4.9ft (1-1.5m) range, with another 6.0% at 5-6.6ft (1.5-2m) and a scattering of 1.6-3.3ft (0.5-1m). These are proper long-period southern hemi waves: smooth, powerful and more organized than the short-period winter crumble. The NNW component still throws in 15.8%, mostly in the 5-6.6ft (1.5-2m) range, so there can be a bit of mix on the charts. Winds are the biggest variable-S winds are now the most common direction at 29.5%, while NNW sits at 18.2% and NNE at 11.3%. The ideal wind percentage is 35%; this is why spring mornings are golden at Punta Conejo, before the S sea breeze gets going.
