Conditions at P-Land in April
April: Bigger Swell, Fading Offshore Windows
April is a transition month with a split personality. The swell actually steps up slightly: average height reaches 0.8m (2.5-3ft), the period hits the year's peak at 13.8s, and the SSW direction accounts for 97 percent of the energy. The percentage of 3-5ft (1-1.5m) waves climbs to almost 8 percent, giving a bit more push in the water. However, the ideal surfing wind window drops to 30 percent as the trade-wind regime weakens and the WSW/W/WNW afternoon onshore flow starts to bite. Wind roses show the light-to-moderate westerly component increasing steadily, meaning more textured, onshore-afternoon sessions. With rain jumping to 3.45mm/day and water temperature at 29.1°C, the dry season is clearly running out of steam - catch the clean mornings before the clouds build.
