Conditions at Car-rille in April
April: The Calm Before the Storm
April is where surf quality takes a real step back. The average swell height falls to 0.4m (1-1.5ft) and the period drops to a marginal 5.5s, making most waves choppy and messy. NNW is still the dominant swell direction at 71.4 percent, but 55.3 percent of it is in the under-0.5m category. There is a hint of WSW, W and WNW swell starting to pop up, but it is very small and often unsurfable. Ideal winds are down to just 8 percent as the synoptic pattern shifts, with increasing S and S/SW breezes. Air temps rise to 28.6°C and water temperature to 28.7°C; precipitation climbs to 2.13mm/day. Not a month to plan a surf trip unless you are chasing the occasional clean small-wave window.
