Conditions at Levanto in April
April: Mixed Swell as the Storm Track Fades
April is a transition month. The average wave height is still 2-3ft (0.7m) and period has only slipped to 5.6s, but the energy becomes less organised. The SW/WSW/SSW span actually expands - SW alone at 35.0% and WSW at 12.7% - yet much of it is smaller, with the 0-0.5m micro category bloated. The exception comes from the westerly windows of a spring depression, which can deliver solid 3-5ft (1-1.5m) peaks and even a few 5-8ft (1.5-2.5m) ones. SSE swell also jumps to 14.5%, but that direction is a poor match for the southwest-facing beach and is often local windswell. The surf wind is ideal 23% of the time; offshore NNE/NE/ENE/E winds still take up 35.2% of the rose, but southeasterly sea-breeze patterns are gaining ground. Air temps warm to 14.0°C and water to 14.9°C, with precipitation climbing to 2.40mm/day. A versatile 4/3 or 3/2 wetsuit is usually enough.
