Conditions at Badoc Point in April
April: The Late-Spring Lull
The surf really winds down in April. The average swell height drops to 3ft (0.9m), the average period shortens to 7.0s, and NNE/NE swells still account for nearly 78% of the energy. The favorable W/NW/NNW window edges up to about 6%, but most of the available waves are small and poorly organized for a WNW-facing point.
The wind regime is also less reliable, with ideal wind at 33% and the rose spreading across N/NE/E/SE/S/W/NW. Afternoon sea breezes and light variable winds become the norm, and water temperature rises to 28.3 degrees Celsius with air at 28.4 degrees Celsius. With just 0.98mm/day of rain, it is dry and warm but surf-starved. When the rare NW swell appears, keep expectations low and go small.
