Conditions at Caridad in April
April: The Monsoon's Last Gasp
April is the transition month when the northeast trades begin to weaken, but the southwest monsoon hasn't fully established yet. Average swell height drops to 1.1m (3.6ft) with a period of 9.4s. The swell mix shifts strongly to ENE (66.3%) with NE (27.1%) hanging on, and a large chunk of the energy is split between 0.5-1m (1.6-3.3ft) and 1-1.5m (3.3-5ft) -- still some fun waves on paper. However, ideal offshore wind only blows 3% of the time. The windrose is still dominated by E (28.5%), ENE (24.5%), and ESE (18.0%), meaning the beach remains mostly onshore. Air temperatures climb to 27.8°C, water warms to 28.6°C, and rainfall drops to 5.84 mm/day. If you see a SW or W wind forecast, grab it -- April can surprise with clean, rippable waves.
