Conditions at Bunkers in April
April: Cleaner Skies, Smaller Waves
April is a classic transition month on the Danish coast. Average swell height drops to 4ft (1.2m) and period to 6.6s, but the direction quality remains excellent: WNW and NW alone account for 29.9% of all waves, and the full W-NNW window is around 43%. Most waves are in the small-to-fun 1.5-5ft (0.5-1.5m) range, though there are still occasional 6-8ft (2-2.5m) pulses from lingering Atlantic lows.
The wind shifts more variable. Offshore east-to-south-southeast winds drop to about 21%, while W-WNW winds build to 32%, so clean conditions are more localized, often in the early morning or under high pressure. Air temperatures warm to 6.8°C and water temp is 6.6°C, making spring sessions a little more comfortable. It is a good month for a grovel board, with punchy peaks when the period lines up.
