Conditions at Kitaizumi in April
April: The East Turn Begins
April is a true transition month. The average period drops to 8.8s, and the swell direction shifts dramatically toward ESE and SE. ESE is the leading source at 22.5 percent, with E at 18.9, ENE at 15.0, and SE at 19.1. While the E/ESE/ENE combination is still excellent for this beach, the strong SE presence is less ideal and often arrives with a southerly wind flow. The wind regime becomes split: W, WNW and NW combine for just over 24 percent, while S, SSE and SSW directions fill the rest. The wind is ideal for surfing 41 percent of the time, but the windows require more patience.
Spring warmth is arriving, with average air temperature at 11.0°C and water temperature at 11.2°C. Rain averages 3.65 mm/day. Expect a blend of clean, fun-sized waves and smaller wind-affected days; the best sessions come from a late-season NW offshore flow meeting an ENE/ESE groundswell.
