Conditions at Casino Pier in April
April: Easterly Swell Takes Over
April is the month when Casino Pier sees its most consistent directional swell. Average height eases slightly to 3-4ft (0.9-1.2m), period stays solid at 7.4s, and the E/SE quadrant dominates: E at 15.3%, ESE 12.0%, SE 12.1% and SSE 14.2%. Combined with S at 17.3%, the southeast half of the compass is providing almost 70% of the waves. The beach is fully exposed to these directions, so even modest east pulses show up as clean, rippable lines.
Wind quality is a little more fickle. Ideal conditions sit near 29% as SSW/SW flow becomes more regular during the spring warm-up. Still, passing cold fronts deliver WNW/NW winds and offshore windows between southerly blows. Water temperature climbs to 8.4°C, and average air temperatures around 10.0°C make the dawn patrols far more manageable than midwinter. Expect fun 3-4ft (0.9-1.2m) surf whenever an east swell meets a western wind.
