Conditions at Ozaki in April
April: The Window Opens Up
April is a turning point at Ozaki, as clean conditions become more reliable and the surf begins to show more shape. Average height pushes up to 0.9m (3ft), and the dominant swell direction shifts hard into the SE, with SE producing 29.9% of all swell and ESE/SSE adding another 37.4%. Importantly, the 1-1.5m (3-5ft) classes fill in across SE, SSE and S directions, meaning a higher percentage of the month offers solid, rippable surf rather than just wind chop. The ideal wind percentage jumps to 18%, with SW and WSW offshore flow becoming more common. Air temperatures warm to 15.9°C, water sits at 19.4°C, and precipitation increases to around 5mm per day, so expect a mix of spring showers and increasingly groomed surf.
