Conditions at Hookipa Beach Park in April
April: Trade-Wind Transition
April marks a clear step down in quality. Average swell height drops to 1.7m (5.6ft) and average period shortens to 10.6s. The swell rose is now dominated by ENE at 31.5% and NE at 25.0%, with NNE adding another 16.6%. The ideal NNW direction slips to just 8.7%, and combined N/NW energy falls to near 15% - a far cry from midwinter. Hookipa starts to see plenty of short-to-mid-period trade swell in the 3-5ft (0.9-1.5m) range, but the lack of long-period NW groundswell makes the surf softer and less organized.
Wind conditions also turn more difficult: E and ESE winds account for 72.9% of observations and ideal offshore winds drop to 16%. Water temp is 24.1°C, air temp 22.5°C, and rainfall drops to 1.20 mm/day. Early mornings before the trades fill in offer the best chance of a clean, shoulder-high session.
