Conditions at Pacific City in April
April: Spring Swing
April is a transitional month where the ocean is still plenty capable, but you have to work harder for the clean ones. The average swell height drops to 6.9ft (2.1m), still with a solid 11.6-second period, and W and WNW swells account for a huge 56.6% of the wave distribution. The problem is wind: ideal offshore flow only runs about 20% of the time, while NNW winds spike to 19.2% and S/SSW winds combine for over 21%. Those directions put a lot of texture on the surface. Water temperature is 10.8°C, air temps average 8.2°C, and precipitation eases to 4.2 mm/day. Easterly offshore breezes are most likely at dawn, so the early bird gets the clean peaks before the afternoon sea breeze ruins the party.
