Conditions at Easkey Left in April
April: Shoulder-Season Gold
April is where the north-facing nature of Easkey Left really starts to shine. Mean swell height drops to 1.7m and average period to 10.7s, but the directional mix turns favourably northwards: NNW is one of the most common swell directions at 17.2%, with NW close behind at 15.9% and W/WNW providing the remaining bulk. That means more waves arrive from the north half of the compass, many in the 3-5ft (1-1.5m) range, with enough 6-8ft (1.8-2.5m) sets to keep things lively. Ideal offshore wind occurs 26% of the time, and the SSE-SW quadrant remains well represented, although N-NNE winds become more common than in winter, so timing is important. Water temperature is still cold at 9.6°C, air averages 8.6°C, but precipitation drops to 2.78 mm/day, often producing crisp, clean conditions between frontal passages.
