Conditions at Sidi R'bat in April
April: Transition Time, Summer Wind Creeps In
April is a transitional month: the swell is still present, but the quality starts to slide. Heights average 6ft (1.9m) and periods shorten to 10.9s, so there is less pure groundswell and more mid-period energy. The direction mix becomes even more northerly - NNW surges to 47%, NW sits at 28% and WNW at 7%. With the beach facing WNW, the strong NNW component is a little less efficiently refracted and tends to wrap in with less consistency. The bigger problem is wind: ideal offshore flow plummets to just 11%, while onshore NW winds grow to 30.4% and WNW to 20.8%. In other words, most days are cross-onshore slop, with only occasional early-morning land breezes. Air temps rise to 17.9°C, rainfall fades to 0.69 mm/day, and the ocean warms slightly to 17.5°C - but spring is decidedly lower-quality at Sidi R'bat.
