Conditions at Tiger Stripes in April
April: Monsoon Transition Begins
April is the bridge between monsoons, and the wind percentages reflect that: ideal conditions drop to 47%, with NW/N offshore pulses becoming intermittent. The ocean delivers more size and push - average swell bumps to 4.3ft (1.3m) at 10.9s - and SSE/S/SSW directions combine for over 88% of the energy, including some 1.5-2m (5-6.5ft) sets. The challenge is the daily build of SW/WSW/W winds, which makes early morning the clear window for clean Tiger Stripes. Rain starts to increase to 4.35mm/day and water temp climbs to 30.1°C, signaling the approaching wet season, but the swell remains excellent when the wind cooperates.
