Conditions at La Roccetta in April
April: Spring Mix and South Swell
April continues the spring mix. Average wave height eases to just over 2ft (0.7m), the period remains around 5.0s, and ideal wind occurs 11% of the time. The swell direction distribution turns even more southerly: S (16.0%), SSE (14.8%), WSW (14.2%) and SW (13.3%) together make up more than 58% of all observations. That is excellent for exposure, but the height distribution is heavily bunched in the 0-1.5ft (0-0.5m) and 1.5-3ft (0.5-1m) categories, so there is not much push. Wind is a genuine coin flip: SE/SSE onshore winds combine for 20.4%, while the offshore NE/NNE/NNW quadrant totals 23.4%. Air temps rise to 14.1°C, water temp to 15.4°C, and rain is still around 2mm/day. If the morning is clean and a south-southwest pulse fills in, it can be fun groveling; just do not expect power.
