April: The Storm Track Stirs
April marks the true transition into the cold season. The average swell holds at around 6ft (1.7m) with 13.4-second periods, but the direction becomes much more SW-focused: 72.3% of the energy comes from the SW, with 16.2% in the 7-8ft (2-2.5m) class and a first hint of 8ft+ (2.5m+) energy. The wind still refuses to blow offshore, but the ideal window improves slightly to 2%, and lighter SSW flow becomes more common. It is not yet consistently good, but the number of dawn windows with cleanable faces starts to rise.
Air temps cool to 17.5°C, water drops to 13.8°C, and rainfall increases slightly to 0.07 mm/day.
