Conditions at Hyatt Reef in April
April: Muscular Swell Meets the SE Trades
April is the first real transition month. The swell train does not let up-average height is 1.7m (5.5ft), period 13.8s, and the directions are more southerly, with SSW at 65%, S at 18%, and SW at 12%. This is the kind of long-period groundswell that can make an east-southeast-facing reef feel epic. The catch is wind: ideal wind plummets to 19%, and the ESE (33%) and E (19%) components dominate, backed by 13% SE. Strong 10-20 and 20-30kph trade pulses create textured, onshore conditions for most of the afternoon. Rain decreases to 4.4mm/day, skies are drier, air temps stay near 25.6°C, and water temp is still 29.1°C. Score a dawn patrol offshore land breeze and you will find the month's only real windows.
