Conditions at Reve Havn in April
April: Spring Thaw and Fading Groundswell
April is a transition month, and the energy levels at Reve Havn begin to wind down. Average swell drops to 3ft (0.9m) and period eases to 7.5s, so the surf becomes smaller and less consistent. However, the swell direction is still overwhelmingly favourable - NW (22.0%), WNW (16.0%) and W (13.2%) keep the beach active through the month. A hefty portion of the observations now sit in the 2-3ft (0.5-1m) range, with enough 3-5ft (1-1.5m) days to keep a grovel board honest. Ideal offshore wind is 13%, which is okay for spring, but NNW winds jump to 21.3% and are the dominant wind direction. These are onshore for this NW spot, so even when there is swell, surface conditions can get messy. The good news: air temps climb to 5.5°C, water sits at 6.2°C and precipitation is the lowest of the year at 3.1mm/day, making the cleaner days feel almost pleasant. April is not a month to fly across the Atlantic for, but it is a legit local spring window.
