Conditions at Badoc Island Lefts in April
April: Cleaner, Smaller and Rippable
April is the classic down-but-not-out month. Average swell height drops to 0.9m and period eases to 7.0s. The wave rose remains remarkably directional, with NNE at 56%, NE at 22%, N at 7.5% and NNW at 3%, but the energy is concentrated in the smaller classes. The 0.5-1m (2-3ft) range covers about 33% of the month, while 1-1.5m (3-5ft) adds another 15%. Out of every ten days, a few will still deliver waist-to-chest-high lefts, and the occasional 1.5-2m (5-6ft) pulse is possible during a lingering monsoon surge.
April brings a more balanced wind regime. The persistent winter ENE/NE winds are weakening and the S/SW sector is gaining ground, pushing ideal surf wind to around 20%. This is one of the first months where a summery seabreeze pattern can produce clean early mornings. Rainfall is still modest at 0.98mm/day, air temperature averages 28.4°C and water temperature has warmed to 28.3°C. For smaller-wave boards and groveling, April is a decent transition month.
