Conditions at Urbiztondo Beach in April
April: Small Shoulder-Season Lull
April is a genuine lull between monsoons. The average swell drops to 1.5ft (0.4m) and the average period is only 5.5s - right on the edge of choppy and messy. Although the NNW direction still leads with 71.4 percent, 55.3 percent of all swell is under 1.5ft (0.5m), and there is a broadening spread of WNW, W and even WSW energy as the southwest monsoon begins to breathe. Ideal wind bottoms out at 8 percent, the lowest of the year, while southerly winds start to increase. Air temperature warms to 24.7°C, water temp reaches 28.7°C, and rainfall increases to 2.56mm/day. Expect plenty of groveling unless a stray tropical disturbance lines up a little extra swell.
