April: Smaller Waves and the First Wind Shifts
April signals the end of the winter swell train, with average surf down to 4ft (1.3m). The easterly component is even more important: ENE supplies 63.8%, E 22.1%, and NE 12.6%. Most waves fall in the 1-1.5m range, meaning head-high, fun-sized surf if the wind cooperates. The ideal offshore wind is still rare at 2%, but the wind field is changing -- E and ESE winds remain onshore but are lighter, and the first hints of SW afternoon flow are starting to appear. It is a transition month, so small, grovelly waves and the occasional clean morning are the best-case scenario.
With only 4.41 mm/day of rain, April is the driest month of the year. Air temperatures average 27.4°C and the water is a warm 28.6°C, so boardshorts are the call and a good shortboard will handle most sessions.
