From the photo and your descriastion of a heavy rainy period, I suspect a fungal leaf disee pdue to spore transmission with the wet conditions.

Sorry, my answer was distorted and sent prematurely.
It should have said that from your description of the conditions, I suspect a fungal leaf disease as a result of rain/wind transmission of spores.
It appears as if “peach leaf curl”, but lacks the characteristic red-orange discoloration, so it may be another disease.

If mine I would prune out the infected tips in order to limit further spore dispersal to healthy foliage. And I would use a biological fungicide as a preventive barrier for further infection.
As a California arborist I don’t know your local resources, but Double Nickel Bio-fungicide-bactericide from Certis USA is a good one if you can get it. Or something similar.
