Conditions at Inside Rights in April
April: The Promise of Size, the Arrival of the Trades
As the equatorial monsoon fades, the Southeast trades establish a stronger foothold. Ideal wind numbers fall to 29%, with E/SE/SSE directions making up about 30% of all wind observations. But the surf does not care - average period jumps to 13.8s and height holds 5ft (1.5m), with SSW swell exploding to 61.5% of the mix. The 5-6ft (1.5-1.8m) class is now 41% of the day, so this is a month with real power. For every hour of onshore SE wind there are windows of magic, especially early in the morning before the thermal trades fill in or during synoptic breaks when the W/NW flow resurfaces. Air temp is 28.0°C, sea temperature is 29.6°C, rainfall is down to 7.5mm/day.
