April: The Trade-Wind Takeover Accelerates
April marks the true transition into the Caribbean trade-wind season. North-oriented swell collapses to under 3% of the spectrum, while ESE and SE swells combine for almost 86% of the wave energy. Average height remains 0.7m and period drops to 6.3s, which is classic windswell territory: 2-3ft (0.5-1m) of soft, short-period waves with very little of the 3-5ft (1-1.5m) range. The good news is that ideal wind percentages reach 19%, one of the highest of the year, and southerly quadrant winds become a bit more common, offering occasional offshore morning windows. Water temperature warms to 26.9°C and air temperatures average 26.1°C (21.3-32.3°C), while precipitation rises to 2.56 mm/day. This is a low-key longboard month for most surfers, but a late-season north wrap can still sneak through for those who stay patient.
