Conditions at Gilleleje Havn in April
April: Easterlies and Flatness
April is a low-surf month. Average swell height drops to about 1.5ft (0.4m) and average period bottoms out at 3.5s, so the limited energy is almost entirely short-period, unorganised chop. The wave rose shows a modest increase in W-NW-NNW directions, with WNW at 11.3 per cent, NNW at 9.7 per cent, W at 8.6 per cent and NW at 8.0 per cent. This is actually a slightly better directional mix for the NNE-facing beach, but the heights are tiny; roughly 95 per cent of all wave observations are under 1m. Wind patterns shift toward E, ESE, SE and NNW, with ESE at 9.0 per cent, NNW at 9.2 per cent and E at 6.8 per cent. The ideal-wind percentage is a flat 0 per cent. Air temperatures climb to 6.6°C, precipitation drops to 1.4mm/day, and the water temperature slowly recovers to 6.0°C. Still, the surf remains mostly lake-like in texture.
