Conditions at Patrokl in April
April: Cleaner Skies and the Best Wind of the Year
April is the sweet spot for wind, not size. Ideal offshore wind percentage peaks at 14%, with SSE/SSW/S winds also active but less onshore than winter. Average swell height sits at 2ft (0.6m) and period improves to 5.6s, making the small waves slightly more organized. The directional picture is dominated by S at 32% and SSW at 31% swell, while SE swell reaches 7.5%, about double the winter norm. That easterly tendency is important because it begins to align with Patrokl's ideal ENE/E/ESE/SE swell window. Water temps move up to 4.4C, air averages 4.9C, and rainfall increases. It is a groveling month of small, clean peaks rather than a destination surf month.
