April: Spring Consistency With More Chop
April signals the start of the fair season, with average swell height easing to 6ft (1.9m) and period still a respectable 11.8s. W (30.2%) and WSW (29.0%) dominate almost equally, and SW contributes 12.3%, so the swell window remains full and rideable. However, the wind regime becomes noticeably more mixed. WNW (20.5%) is the most common wind direction, followed by SE (11.3%) and NW (10.0%), while the offshore E/ESE quadrant is weaker than in winter. This pushes the ideal-wind percentage down to 28%, and it shows in the surface quality: when W/WSW swells are met with E/NE offshore flow, the beach can still produce clean, punchy peaks, but onshore WNW spells lumpy, bumpy conditions. Water temperature climbs to 10.0°C (50°F), air temperature averages 7.7°C (46°F), and precipitation drops to about 5mm/day. April is all about timing - the swell is there, you just need to find the offshore window.
