April: Transition Season Fuel and Fickle Winds
April represents the transition away from peak season. The swell is still solid - averaging 1.5m (5ft) with the longest period of the year so far at 13.8s - and the direction shifts more directly to SSW, which accounts for a dominant 61.5% of all swell. S swell adds 14% and SW another 17.8%, so there is no shortage of raw energy. The problem is wind: ideal conditions drop to 29%, as SE and SSE winds combine for nearly 20% of readings and the whole E-S quadrant accounts for more than half of all observations. Early mornings are still worth it, especially when a W or WNW breeze clears the surface. With water at 29.6°C and rainfall down to 7.47mm/day, April is warm, humid and only occasionally glassy.
