April: A Seasonal Lull
April bottoms out between monsoons. Ideal wind plummets to 23%, and the wind field is light and variable, with W (9.4%), WSW (7.5%), E (8.0%) and ESE (7.7%) all competing for control. Average swell falls to 1-2ft (0.5m) with a short 5.9s period - in the small, groveling range. Remaining swell is still mostly NNW (28.8%), N (26.8%) and NNE (23.9%), but the S/SW window begins to stir with SW at 2.1% and WSW at 4.1%. Air temp rises to 27.9°C, water temp hits 28.4°C and rainfall increases to 1.33 mm/day. If you are lucky, a morning offshore breeze and a fading north pulse will produce a few clean ankles-to-knee-high peelers.
