Conditions at Ninjas/Piddlies in April
April: Offshore Wind at Its Core
April is the statistical peak for ideal wind, hitting 65% due to a strong run of WSW/W/WNW/NW flow - those four directions combine for 62.6% of the wind distribution. That is pure offshore for this east-facing beach. The trade-off is that swell direction rotates away from the east: SE contributes 20%, SSE 30.5%, S 14.5%, SSW 9.3%, and the W/SW quadrant accounts for the rest. The ESE/SE combo only adds up to 22.8% of incoming swell, but those southeast lines are the most directly favourable. Average height is 0.8m (2.6ft) with an 8.2s period, giving clean, punchy inside waves on the good windows. Air temp rises to 28.5°C, rainfall increases to 3.03mm/day, and water temp heats up to 30.6°C. Conditions are shaped more by wind than size, so a small-board approach is best.
