Conditions at Galiote in April
April: Spring Transition Down
April is noticeably smaller. Average swell drops to 2.5ft (0.8m), period shortens to 5.6s, and ideal wind falls to 28 percent. E swell still makes up 11.5 percent of the spectrum and ENE adds 6.5 percent, but most of that energy is in the smaller 1.5-3ft (0.5-1m) range. The wind picture is balanced between ENE (13.1 percent), W (12.3 percent), WNW (12.1 percent) and E (10.8 percent), so clean sessions depend on catching the W-WNW offshore window before the sea breeze builds. Air temperatures warm to 13.0°C and water temperature rises to 14.4°C. It is a good month for a mid-length board and a patient approach.
