Conditions at Loutsa in April
April: Dawn of the Flat Spell
April marks the real transition into the Mediterranean summer regime. Average swell height falls to 2ft (0.6m), average period dips to 4.5s, and offshore wind drops to 25%. SSW (23%) and NNE (16%) remain the most common wave directions, but most of that energy is below 1m (3ft), often below 0.5m (1-2ft). The optimal NE/ENE/E/ESE swell direction still appears about 13% of the time, yet without meaningful period, the waves stay soft and groveling. Winds are split between light NNW/NNE breezes and warmer southerly flows, with the stronger winter offshore quadrants becoming less frequent. Air temps reach 15°C (59°F), water climbs to 16°C (61°F), and rain fades to about 1mm per day. Good for a warm-up surf on the longboard; not a month to plan a heavy quiver.
