April: Long-Period Perfection
April is arguably the most beautiful month on paper. The average wave period peaks at 13.8s, tied with May for the longest of the year, and the S/SSE window balloons to around 68 percent of all wave energy. The quality catch is that the wind is ideal only 58 percent of the time - still solid, but requiring a dawn-patrol mentality as the land heats up and a light sea breeze develops by midday. Wave heights stay mostly in the 2-3ft (0.6-0.9m) range, but the long period makes every wave feel longer, faster and more powerful than its size suggests. Water temps rise to 22.5°C, air temps average 23.4°C, and precipitation is nearly non-existent. This is the kind of month that reminds you why groundswell is worth chasing.
