Conditions at Darigayos in April
April: The Flat-Season Door Opens
April is one of the slowest months of the year at Darigayos. Average swell height bottoms out at around 2ft (0.6m) and the period contracts to 6.1s - that is small, micro-to-fun-size territory. The swell direction is still dominated by N (44%) and NNE (27%), with NNW at 16%, but a trace of SW/WSW energy begins to appear as the southwest monsoon starts to breathe. Winds are increasingly variable: north and south components trade blows, and the ideal-wind clock falls to 20%. The southerly quadrant begins to dominate the afternoons, making for bumpy surfaces. With air temperatures up to 26.1°C and water temperature already warm at 28.7°C, the ocean is comfortable but largely flat. This is the time for a longboard and a patient attitude, not for a serious swell chase.
