Conditions at Kilcummin in April
April: Spring Direction, Less Power
April is the most directionally friendly month for Kilcummin. The average swell drops to 1.2m (4ft) and the period to 10.9s, so you trade power for angles. NW is the second-biggest swell source at 18.4 per cent, NNW adds 11.0 per cent and N 0.6 per cent, putting the optimal N-NNW-NW share near 30 per cent - the highest of the year. The catch is size: most waves sit in the 0.5-1.5m (2-5ft) range, with only occasional sets pushing 1.5-2m. Wind is also a bit more mixed. The ideal-wind figure is 33 per cent, and while S-SSW-SW totals about 20.5 per cent, the NNW wind direction jumps to 11.8 per cent, bringing more onshore/northerly chop. Air temps average 8.9°C, precipitation is 3.12mm/day, and water temp is 10.7°C. A 4/3 with booties is the call, and it is worth staying alert for clean NW swell windows.
