Conditions at Pine Grove in April
April: Cleaner Wind, Same Small Surf
April is the first month where the consistency of ideal wind improves meaningfully, reaching 47 percent. The wave height averages 2-3ft (0.8m) with a period of 6.0s, but the swell direction balance tilts further toward ESE (48.1 percent) and SE (11.1 percent), while E drops to 34.5 percent. On a north-facing beach, the ESE and SE sector is the best possible trade-wind angle - enough offshore component to groom the faces and keep the shoulders sectiony. Winds are still largely E (31.3 percent) and ESE (23.2 percent), but the onshore ENE wind weakens to 16.4 percent. Water temp is 26.7°C, air temp averages 26.1°C, and rainfall rises to 2.94mm/day. April doesn't offer much size, but the increase in clean, offshore-tinted mornings makes it a reliable month for a grovel board.
