Conditions at Langland Beach in April
April: The Spring Lull
April marks a clear step down in wave energy. The average swell height drops to around 3ft (0.9m) and the period shortens to 9.0 seconds, pushing Langland out of long-period groundswell and into punchier, shorter-period surf. WSW and W swells still dominate at around 60% of observations, while the ideal S/SSW/SW window is smaller; expect fewer days with true, focused peaks. Still, 15% ideal offshore winds is a decent spring number, and the lighter winds allow this south-facing beach to clean up even on modest swell.
Water temperature is still cold at 9.7°C, air averages 8.7°C, and precipitation is relatively low at 2.27 mm/day. April offers fun, rippable waves rather than heavy winter slabs. A robust SSW/SW swell of 3-5ft (1-1.5m) during a north-wind morning is the formula for a great April session.
