Conditions at Bombies in April
April: A Mix of Power and Trades
April is the transition month. The monsoon is breaking down: 29% ideal winds are still respectable, but the east-southeast trades are now a persistent factor. The wave rose is loaded with SSW/S energy -- SSW dominates at 61.5%, S delivers 14%, and SW 17.8% -- and average wave heights hold near 1.5m (4-5ft) while period climbs to 13.8s. That means the groundswell is becoming more powerful and slightly more southerly. Offshore W/NW flow still appears at night and in the early morning, creating short clean windows. If you are willing to chase the 29% of ideal time, April can serve up thick, spinning lefts. Water temp 29.6°C, air 28.0°C, and precipitation down to 7.5mm/day.
