Conditions at Meron in April
April: Spring Transition Games
April is a classic shoulder month. The average swell height drops to 4ft (1.3m) and the average period backs off to 10.6s, so the ocean is more punchy and less powerful. The good news is direction: NW still accounts for 40.1% and NNW for 27.5% of the swell, keeping the beach in the game. Smaller 2-5ft (0.6-1.5m) waves dominate, and a grovelly high-performance board will get you into more waves.
Wind becomes the deciding factor. Ideal offshore conditions drop to 33%, while ENE wind cranks up to 15.6% and NE adds 8.4%. Onshore N-NNW flow also grows to 8.2%. You want the days with S/SW wind, often in the wake of low pressure. Air temperature averages 11.9°C, water temperature warms a touch to 13.7°C, and precipitation of 2.48mm/day keeps the fickle pattern alive.
