Conditions at Maraa in April
April: Autumn Gold
April is peak autumn and peak period. The average wave period reaches 12.9 seconds - the longest of the year - while average height sits around 7ft (2.1m). S swell is utterly dominant at nearly 32 percent of the distribution, and with SSE adding 24.5 percent and SSW another 15.4 percent, Maraa receives a steady diet of long, organized lines from the south and south-southwest. The ESE background energy fades to almost nothing, and although SE still contributes about 10 percent, the overall swell field is far more focused in the S/SSE window than in the summer months.
Wind remains kind: ideal conditions 41 percent of the time, with E at 24 percent and ESE at 23 percent. The trick is to pick the windows when the ESE cross-shore is light; that is when the southwest-facing reef turns on and produces fast, hollow sections. Water temp remains warm at 28.7°C, air at 27.1°C, and rain has dropped to 3.7 mm/day. For power, period and polish, April is hard to beat.
