April: Smaller Swells, Midweek Clean Windows
April is the first real step toward the fair season. Average swell height drops to about 4ft (1.3m) and the average period backs off to 10.6 seconds, so the long-period winter punctuation becomes less frequent. Directionally, the swell is still clean: NW represents a large share of active swell, NNW adds another solid chunk, and NNE brings a secondary component. Most days are in the 2-5ft (0.5-1.5m) range, with occasional bigger surf if the tail end of a cold front slips through. The wind is ideal only 34% of the time-E and ENE winds start to take over, so mornings are often cleaner than afternoons. Water temperature begins to climb to 13.7°C, air averages 11.9°C, and despite 2.48mm/day of rain, proper session windows still exist if you stay flexible.
