Conditions at Andran in April
April: Transitional Spring Energy
April is the first true shoulder month at Andran. The average swell drops to 1.4m (4-5ft) and the period falls to 10.7s, so while there is still rideable groundswell, it loses the deep-water authority of winter. The direction remains solidly NW at 42% of recorded swell, with NNW at 25% and WNW at 11%, giving the spot plenty of north-northwest energy. The presence of 1-1.5m (3-5ft) swell is higher, but the 2m+ band shrinks noticeably.
The wind is where the season starts to get tricky: ideal offshore conditions drop to 26%. E/ENE winds become more frequent, especially during the middle of the day, and onshore N/NNW/NW/WNW winds still account for a solid slice of the wind rose. Early mornings often offer the cleanest texturing. Air temperature averages 11.9°C, water is 13.7°C, and precipitation is moderate at 2.57mm/day - spring wetsuit territory with the first chance of surf in a little less rubber.
