Conditions at Lanuza in April
April: Smaller but Cleaner Shoulder Season
April sees the monsoon continue to weaken. Average swell height drops to 0.9m (3ft) with a period of 9.1s, and the wave rose is almost entirely ENE at 77.7 percent, plus NE at 13.1 percent and E at 7.5 percent. Most of that energy sits in the 0.5-1m band, meaning Lanuza receives small, grovelly waves rather than solid winter walls. However, cleaner winds arrive: ideal conditions climb to 35 percent of the time, with more E and ESE flow at moderate speeds. The average air temp rises to 26.4°C, water temp is 28.6°C, and rainfall is near the dry-season minimum at 6.63mm/day. It is a month for the longboard or a small-wave twin fin, with occasional fun peaks when an E or ENE pulse fills in.
