Conditions at Monobegawakakou in April
April: The South Swell Machine Cranks Up
April is one of the more consistent fair-season months. Average height rises to 3ft (0.9m) and the wave rose becomes a textbook pattern for this south-facing beach: SE (29.9%), ESE (18.8), SSE (18.6) and S (16.0) combine for 83% of all incoming swell. Better yet, the size is not just small scale - the S direction throws up 4.1% at 3-5ft (1-1.5m), 1.9% at 5-6.5ft (1.5-2m), and 0.7% at 6.5-8ft (2-2.5m), with SE and SSE also contributing substantial 3-6ft (1-2m) energy. The period is still just 8.2s, so the waves are more punchy and sectiony than long-period groundswell, but the wind still favors the offshore quadrant about 44% of the time, especially from NNE (10.1%), NNW (12.6%) and N (4.6%). Air temps reach 14.1°C, water holds at 18.2°C, and spring rains mean variable conditions. Look for morning offshore windows and stand-out SE/SSE peaks.
