Conditions at Bauang in April
April: Pre-Monsoon Lull
April is the beginning of spring's low tide. Average swell height bottoms out near 1.3ft (0.4m), period is a weak 5.5s, and clean wind days are only 9%. The swell direction starts to broaden - NNW still leads at 71.4%, but NW (9.7%), WNW (4.8%), W (4.5%), and WSW (2.8%) all appear as the southwest monsoon begins to breathe. That is a good sign for direction, yet the energy is far too small and short-period to do anything useful; 81% of all wave heights are under 2ft (0.5m) and most of the rest are barely 2-3ft (0.6-1m). Winds are dominantly SSE and S, with occasional SSW, and the windows for true offshore flow are rare. Air temperature averages 24.7°C, water warms to 28.7°C, and precipitation is still modest at 2.56mm/day. April is one of the two quietest months on the Bauang calendar.
