Conditions at Cimaja in April
April: Transition and Texture
April marks the shift from the NW monsoon to the SE trades. Swell generation remains strong, with average height at 1.4m (4-5ft) and period at a long 13.7s. The direction mix is excellent for Cimaja: SSW 58%, S 33% and SW 8%. There is actually a bigger share of 1.5-2m (5-6.5ft) swell than in the peak winter months, so size is not the issue. The issue is wind. Ideal offshore flow drops to 35%, and ESE, SE and E winds occupy a large chunk of the wind rose. When the trades are strong, Cimaja gets chopped up and drift becomes a factor. Pick a light-wind morning and there is still quality to be found. Air temperature is 26.4°C, water temperature peaks at 29.4°C, and rain drops to 7.7 mm/day. April is a game of timing, not expectations.
