Conditions at Lagos in April
April: Clean Spring Faces
April marks the start of the fair season. Average heights ease to 3-4ft (0.9-1.2m) and periods settle at 10.8s - still punchy and rideable, but less powerful than midwinter. WNW, NW and W swells completely dominate the data, and while the WSW/SW directions that favour Lagos are present, they are no longer the primary engine. The good news is wind: NNW and NW offshore winds are the most common directions, offering frequent clean conditions at 32% ideal, despite the smaller waves. Water temps warm slowly to 16.4°C, air temps reach 15.8°C on average, and spring showers remain a regular companion. A good month for the longboard and the small-wave performance board.
