Conditions at Hash Point in April
April: Power Fades, Period Drops
April is a shoulder month with a split personality. The average height is still a healthy 6.5ft (2.0m), but the average period drops to 10.9s, pulling the waves out of the deep groundswell range. The directional data push even harder to the north: NNW swell accounts for 46.3% and NW for 23.9%, leaving very little true W/WSW exposure. This increasingly angled, mid-period energy tends to lose speed and shape at a beach that wants the swell coming straight in. The wind is ideal only 39% of the time; the notorious NNW wind (35.1%) and NW wind (18.7%) dominate, while the offshore E/ENE quadrant all but disappears. Air temps warm to 18.1°C (12.8-29.7°C), water temp is 17.1°C, and rain drops to 0.42mm/day. Surfable, sometimes fun, but you will have to choose your windows carefully.
