Conditions at Brusand in April
April: Spring High-Pressure Windows
April marks the shift from peak winter power to cleaner, smaller surf. The average wave height drops to 3.5ft (1.1m), with the period settling at 8.0s. Northwest and west-northwest swells dominate the rose - NW is a massive 21.0% and WNW 17.2% - but the swell is not as strong, with most observations now in the 1-5ft (0.3-1.5m) size band. The south-west-facing beach still catches a decent amount of SW (8.4%) and WSW (8.2%) swell, plus 5.2% from S and 6.9% from SSW, so there are rideable options. The real story in April is the wind: spring high pressure over Scandinavia brings more offshore N/NNE/NE/ENE flow, totalling 10% and giving the best clean-wind odds of the year at 20%. Air temperatures rise to 5.6°C, precipitation falls to 2.99mm/day, and water sits at 6.1°C. Expect glassy, smaller surf, period-driven consistency, and a few early spring gems when the 8-10s swell lines up with a land breeze.
