Conditions at Monte Clerigo in April
April: Shoulder-Season Gem
April marks the transition as the polar front retreats, but Monte Clerigo still benefits from a very active NW swell corridor. Average swell height drops to 6ft (1.9m), average period 11.2s, and the W, WNW, NW and NNW directions make up a massive 77% of the wave rose. NW alone contributes 35.7%, so the beach is still handling a solid, organised swell. The limiting factor is wind: ideal offshore conditions occur only 19% of the time, with NNW flow (28%) and NW/N winds becoming more dominant. Air temperatures average 15.1°C, water temperature 16.0°C, and rainfall is similar to March at 1.69mm/day. April is a good month for wave-hunting forecasts and scoring the clean days between northerly wind events.
