April: The Window of Opportunity
April is a delightful month for Porth Neigwl because the ocean is still full of energy while the atmosphere starts to play nice. Average swell settles at 5ft (1.6m) with a 10.1s period - still plenty to make the west-northwest-facing beach work. W swell dominates at 23.4%, WSW at 17.4% and WNW at 12.1%, giving a near-constant supply of clean lines. Meanwhile, the number of true offshore E/SE wind days reaches its yearly high at 24%, and winds in general are much lighter. With air and water both around 10°C, it is still cold, but the combination of groomed W swell and offshore flow makes April one of the most reliable months for quality surf. It can throw the occasional 6-8ft (1.8-2.4m) set, but the bread-and-butter is fun, rippable 3-5ft (0.9-1.5m) surf. Precipitation drops to 2.26mm/day.
