Conditions at San Augustin in April
April: Long-Period Powerhouse
April is one of the most reliable months of the year. Swell heights average about 5ft (1.5m) and periods jump to 13.8s, meaning the energy arriving at San Augustin has serious push. The wave rose is dominated by SSW at 60.7%, with SW and S adding 15.3% and 10.9% respectively; including SSE, nearly 90% of all swell comes from the favorable SSE-SW arc. The 1-1.5m (3-5ft) class is the biggest, but a substantial amount of 1.5-2m (5-6.5ft) SSW energy is present, making for hollow, rippable walls.
Wind remains the wildcard. Only 45% of the time is the wind ideal, as W and WSW flow becomes prevalent and can chop up the surface. The atmosphere is warming with air at 29.0°C, water at 28.8°C and little rain at 0.22mm/day. Chase the light NW/NNW offshore morning windows and April will often deliver the best combination of size, period and direction of the entire season.
