Conditions at Seccheto in April
April: Swell Direction Dreams, Flat Reality
April is the most south-facing month of the year on paper - SSE makes up a colossal 21.0% of all swell directions, with S at 9.4% and SSW at 7.6% bringing the southern family to 38%. But looks can be deceiving: average swell height drops to 0.7m and the period shrinks to 4.9s, often leaving the beach with ankle-to-knee-high lumps. The short-period SSE swell is also easily killed by the frequent SSE winds (14.3%) that blow directly onshore. However, the offshore NNW wind is also strong at 15.2%, giving you a real chance of smooth, rideable conditions if you're willing to chase the smaller days. Water temp warms to 15.1°C, making a 3/2 wetsuit possible. Precipitation remains steady at 1.88 mm/day.
