Conditions at Newport in April
April: Offshore Winds Start to Score
April is where the autumn change takes hold and Newport's surf quality turns a corner. The average swell is 4-5ft (1.2-1.5m), average period is a solid 9.2s, and ideal wind frequency jumps to 33%. Swell direction still has plenty of optimal east energy-SE 21%, SSE 20%, ESE 19%, E 16%-while S groundswell begins to appear at 8%. The wind rose becomes much more westerly, with WSW through NW totalling about 21% of all observations. Water temperatures are still a comfortable 22.0°C, air averages 18.4°C, and rainfall is lower at 2.34 mm/day. Longer-period S/SE groundswells groomed by offshore westerlies make April one of the best months for consistently clean, lined-up surf.
