April: Transition to Smaller Trades
April marks the bridge from winter to summer. Average height eases to 5ft (1.5m) and period to 6.1s. The swell distribution becomes more dominated by ENE (41.0%) and NE (32.7%), with NNE still solid at 17.1%, but the 3-5ft (1-1.5m) class clearly takes over; the 5-6.5ft (1.5-2m) band remains present in ENE/NE but is no longer dominant. N/NNW windswell nearly fades, so consistency comes from the trade-wind fetch. On the wind side, E (32.1%), ENE (22.7%), and ESE (17.2%) dominate, all light; ideal wind rises to 72%.
