Conditions at Blue Bowls in April
April: The Cleanest Window of the Year
April is statistically the cleanest month at Blue Bowls, with ideal wind conditions 61% of the time. The wind rose is dominated by W (24%), WSW (20%) and WNW (17%), all offshore directions for this ESE-facing break. Average swell height bumps to 1.3m (4ft), period reaches 11.6s, and the swell direction is south-southwest through south-southeast: S (42%), SSW (22%), SSE (21%). While the angle is a little south of the classic E/SE window, the combination of long period and clean offshore flow allows the reef to turn these swells into smooth, rippable 3-5ft (1-1.5m) waves, with solid 5-6ft (1.5-2m) sets on the bigger S/SSW pulses. Afternoon sea breezes may develop, but mornings are often glassy. Water temperature climbs to 30.1°C, and rainfall picks up slightly to 4.17 mm/day.
