Conditions at Daugo Island in April
April: Trade Wind Glass and Shoulder-High Walls
April is when the South Pacific high starts flexing and Daugo finally cleans up. Offshore E, ESE, SE and SSE wind jumps to roughly 59 percent, and the ideal-wind stat peaks at 51 percent. The average swell height rises to 1.0m (3-4ft) with a period of 7.7s, producing consistent, rideable surf. Swell direction is the catch: SSE accounts for 82.6 percent of the wave energy and SE another 8.7 percent, with almost no W/WNW/NW/NNW swell in the mix. For a WNW-facing beach, this is an off-angle, short-period swell, but the clean surface and shoulder-high waves make it one of the most surfable months of the year.
Drier weather arrives: precipitation drops to 5.05mm/day, water temp eases to 28.6C and air temps sit near 27.8C. April is the month to start planning for regular sessions at Daugo.
