Conditions at Norderney in April
April: Spring Swell and Cleaner Windows
April is the shoulder season's shining moment. The average swell has dropped to 1.1m (3.6ft), but the directional distribution has swung dramatically toward the north: NNW alone pumps out a massive 22.7% of all wave energy, and NW adds another 12.5%. That means the Atlantic is sending Norderney exactly the swell angle it wants. The average period of 6.3s is still on the short side, but these are punchy, local windswells - perfect for groveling. Winds become more variable and lighter than in winter, and the offshore SE-SSW sector is present enough to groom the waves. Ideal wind sits at 13%. With the sea temperature at 7.6°C and spring air temps averaging 8.3°C, April offers some of the most accessible waves of the year - a little bit of everything, and no crowd.
