Conditions at Kanyakumari in April
April: Pre-Monsoon South Swell
April is a transition month, but still a very good one. The southwest monsoon is building, yet ideal conditions hold at 37%. Winds become more W-WNW - W 29.8% and WNW 27.0% - and while those can be strong, they often stay light enough in the early mornings to groom the surf. Swell is now predominantly from S (45.7%) with SSW (18.4%) and SW (11.6%) mixed in; the S/SSE portion of the spectrum is solid. Average height is around 4ft (1.2m) and period peaks at 11.4s, giving more powerful 3-5ft (1-1.5m) waves. Water temperature is a warm 30.0°C, air 29.1°C, and rainfall increases to 2.82mm/day. Expect clean windows in the morning and a choppier afternoon as sea breezes build.
