April: Swell Still Present, Wind Gets Fickle
April sees the North Atlantic settle down a notch as average wave heights ease to 4-5ft (1.4m) and periods soften slightly to 8.4 seconds. Swell direction is actually perfect for the spot: SSW (19.6%), S (17.2%), SSE (12.2%), SE (9.2%), and ESE (8.5%) dominate the rose. The problem is that wind patterns are shifting. Southwesterlies (SW 9.7%, SSW 9.4%) are on the rise, and when that southwest wind blows, the same swell direction that lights up the beach turns it into a wind-blown mess. The good windows come on the 31% of ideal offshore wind days, often associated with high pressure brushing the region. Water temp is still cold at 2.1°C (35.8°F), air temp rises to 2.9°C (37.2°F), and spring rain keeps everything lush. It's a month of patience: the waves are there, but you have to pick your windows.
