What is happening to mango leaves?

This is an Alphonso mango variety.

The edges seem to bedrying out of new growth. The leaf then becomes wavy.

Too much feetilizer maybe?  Its hard to tell from the photo but looks like tree is not happy with water or fertilizer.

I get this on occasion on young leaves on hot days.  I attributed this to overwatering, but would like to find out exactly why too.

Where is Rob when you need him?  Lol

I have had the same problem before and applying copper fixed the issue. Not 100% sure it's fungal but I'm 100% sure that curling leaves is not caused by over-watering.
