Conditions at Agadir in April
April: The Shoulder Season Slip
April is the first real transition month. Average swell drops to 2.0m (6-7ft), and the period falls to 10.9s - still enough to produce rideable groundswell, but with less force than mid-winter. Swell direction becomes more northerly, with a massive 46.3% coming from the NNW and 23.9% from the NW; the pure W/WNW window is now scarce. The main problem is wind. West and west-north-west winds combine for over 31% of observations, with WSW at 9.5%, and ideal offshore wind drops to just 32%. Those onshore winds add short-period chop and make the waves lumpy, especially in the afternoons. Still, when a low-pressure system brushes the coast and supplies a solid W or NW swell with a morning offshore E/ENE flow, Agadir can offer clean, rippable peaks. Water temp is 17.4C, air 19.1C, and rainfall is easing. A hit-or-miss month, but far from flat.
