Conditions at Auroville in April
April: Southern Rotation and Soft Peaks
April keeps the low energy but the direction rotates further south. Average surf height is 2.6ft (0.8m), average period 7.5s. SE swell accounts for 52.4% and SSE for 34.9%. However, the SSE and S portion is not well aligned with the east-southeast-facing beach. The favorable swell component is mostly limited to SE, and even then most waves fall in the 1.6-3.3ft (0.5-1m) range.
Winds are unfavorable more often than not, with only 12% ideal offshore flow. SSE, S and SSW winds combine for about 51% of the wind distribution, creating a persistent onshore/sideshore texture. The atmosphere is hot and sticky with air temperature around 29.8°C, water temperature peaking at 30.2°C, and rain still minimal at 0.95mm/day. Expect small, wind-affected surf, a month that favors doing other things unless a rare E/SE swell aligns with a light westerly morning.
