April: Southern Hemisphere Swell Hits Its Stride
April is the gate swing on the southern hemisphere swell train. The average height jumps to 1.4m (4-5ft) with the year's longest period so far at 14.1s. The wave direction split becomes stark: SSW (40.4%) and SW (48.8%) combine for nearly 90% of all swell, and the bulk of it sits squarely in the 1-1.5m (3-5ft) range. Better yet, 1.5-2m (5-6.5ft) pulses are common - 9.6% from SSW and 10.4% from SW - so there are proper head-high-plus days. The trade-off is the wind. Ideal conditions drop to 44%, and onshore SW/WSW/W flow starts showing up more regularly. Still, with air temperatures at 25.4°C (77°F), water at 26.1°C (79°F), and virtually rain-free skies (0.02 mm/day), April offers plenty of open, uncluttered lineups when the wind plays ball.
