Conditions at Mikado in April
April: Offshore Winds Peak, Swell Direction Fades
April is the wind month at Mikado. A full 64% of the time the wind is in the ideal offshore sector, and the average period stretches to 12.0 seconds. But look at the swell rose and you will see nearly zero ENE/E/ESE/SE energy; instead SSW (40.1%) and S (28.2%) swells dominate, with SW (17.0%) and WSW (6.8%) adding more. Average wave height holds at 1.0m (3.3ft), so waves are long-period but less ideally directed. The result can be surprisingly clean, made-for-reef surf when southern-hemisphere pulses wrap into the atoll, though it lacks the raw east-injected power of winter. With water temperature at 30.0°C and rain increasing to 4.05mm/day, it is a fair, soft-breezy transition month.
