April: Transitional Texture and Cleaner Days
April is where the season shifts. The average surf height drops to around 4ft (1.3m) and the period falls to 10.2s, but the percentage of ideal offshore winds jumps to 27%, the highest of the year. The W and WSW swell still dominate at 37% and 13% combined, with WNW adding 17%, so the beach continues to see plenty of rideable waves. The energy is less violent than winter and more in the fun, rippable 3-5ft (1-1.5m) range, while the lighter winds allow the surface to stay glassier. Air temperatures average 9.6°C, water is 10.1°C and precipitation drops to 2.45mm/day. Spring is a solid time for clean, user-friendly sessions without the winter grunt.
