Conditions at Ngor Rights in April
April: Swell Remains Solid, but Period and Wind Quality Fade
April is when the seasonal transition starts to show. The average swell sits at 1.7m (5.6ft), but the period drops to 10.8s, signalling a shift from pure long-period groundswell toward more moderate, shorter-period swell. The direction is still overwhelmingly NNW at 88.4%, so the reef remains exposed and active. The problem is the wind: NNW (53.4%), N (28.9%) and NNE (10.2%) dominate, and ideal offshore wind is essentially absent at 0%. With wind blowing from the same quadrant as the swell, Ngor Rights gets a lot of bumpy, lined-up but disorganized surf. Water temperature rises to 20.8°C, and the air averages 21.0°C with very little rain. It is still worth a paddle on the better days, but expect to fight the elements.
