Conditions at Legzira in April
April: Transitional Northwesterly Chop
April is the hinge month between winter and summer. Swell is still present, with an average height of 6.5ft (2.0m), but the average period drops to 10.9s, meaning less punch on the beach. NNW swell completely takes over, accounting for 50.9% of the distribution, with NW adding 21.2%. The main issue is wind: NNW winds blow 40.5% of the time and NW another 10.8%, both onshore. With ideal wind only 22%, many days turn into lumpy, cross-onshore grinders rather than clean Legzira perfection. Watch for the rare morning when the continental SE flow wins out; then the leftover groundswell can still produce excellent, rippable waves. Water temperature is 17.3°C, air averages 17.6°C, and rainfall drops to 0.53mm/day.
