Conditions at Star Tubes in April
April: Transition Troubles
The monsoon transition accelerates in April. Average swell energy drops to 3ft (0.9m) with a shorter period of 7.0s, as the northeast trades weaken. NNE (55.8%) and NE (22.2%) swells still dominate, but most waves are in the small 0.5-1m range. On a positive note, the wind compass swings dramatically: light westerly and northwesterly winds become more common, with 6.5% from W, 7.1% from WNW, and 6.1% from NW - all potentially helping to groom the ocean surface. The ideal wind window is only 33% though, indicating a lot of variability. Temperatures climb (air 28.4°C, water 28.3°C) and rain is still low (0.98mm/day). Expect small, clean and grovelly conditions - a longboard and patience are required.
