Conditions at Off-The-Wall in April
April: Spring Transition Brings Trade Windswell and Fading NW
April is a transition month. The average swell height eases to 2.2m (7.2ft) and the period drops to 10.3s, while the swell rose shifts hard toward ENE (24.2%), NE (17.5%), and NNE (11.7%). The all-important NNW/NW combination shrinks to under 11%, so the groundswell quality becomes less consistent. Ideal wind frequency falls to 16%, with ENE and E combining for a massive 73% of observations. That means plenty of walled-up trade windswell and only occasional windows of true offshore E/ESE flow. Air temperatures climb to 23.5°C, water is 24.2°C, and precipitation eases to 1.39 mm/day. For surfers, April is all about timing - a fading winter groundswell can still light up the point, but the background windswell often wins the month.
