Conditions at Manangat in April
April: The Slump
April is the bottom of the curve. The average wave height falls to just 1.5-2ft (0.5m), the period drops to 5.9s, and the swell rose is dominated by weak N, NNE and NNW lobes that rarely offer any push. This is the definition of small and short period, with most observations in the micro to 2-3ft (0.5-1m) range.
Offshore wind days drop to 19 percent, and the wind rose shows a more even distribution with an increasing tendency for SSE, S and SSW flow. Air temperature averages 27.9°C, water temperature jumps to 28.4°C, and rainfall increases to 1.33mm per day. The ocean all but switches off for Manangat.
If you are chasing quality, April is the month to rest or move to a spot with a more open swell window. The few rideable days will come from lingering north-northwest windswell and a lucky south or southwest pulse, but they are difficult to time and often soft.
