Conditions at Tuason Point in April
April: Spring Lull and the First Typhoon Hints
April sees the swell average slide to 1.1m (3.6ft) with periods around 9.4s. The directional spectrum narrows dramatically: 66.3% of the swell arrives from the ENE and 27.1% from the NE. Most of the energy is in the 0.5-1.5m (1.5-5ft) range, so it is a month of smaller but still fun-sized waves.
On the positive side, the NE trades ease off and winds become lighter and more variable. This brings the ideal wind percentage up to 8%, with W and NW flows starting to appear. Rainfall drops to 5.8 mm/day and water temperature rises to 28.6°C. The first typhoons of the season can throw some longer-period ENE/SE swell into the mix, so keep an eye on the West Pacific - those early pulses often coincide with offshore winds.
