April: Southern Hemi Season Lights Up
April is where the surf season officially ignites. Average height rises to 1.2m (4ft) and average period climbs to 14.2s, the first real long-period marker of the year. The wave rose reorganizes entirely around SSW - a massive 63.9% - plus SW 3.8%, putting over two-thirds of wave energy in the ideal direction. There is even a first taste of size, with 3.2% of SSW energy falling in the 1.5-2m range. Winds turn slightly less predictable as the rainy season approaches: ENE drops to 35.9%, E 19.7%, while WSW (8.3%), SW (4.6%) and W (4.5%) start to appear; ideal winds sit at 54%. Average rainfall jumps to 0.85mm/day, but water is 28.4°C and air 29.4°C. In the water, long, rippable lines become the norm - a serious upgrade from the smaller, S-washed winter surf.
