Conditions at Ponce Inlet in April
April: Spring Purge and E/ESE Influence
April is a shoulder month with a slight downgrade in size. The average swell height slips to 1.1m (3.5ft) and the period settles back to 8.0s. The E sector is even more dominant, producing 24.0% of the waves, while ENE contributes 16.0% and NE 12.1%. That keeps a fair share of favourable swell in the water, but the increasing ESE/SE influence - 16.9% and 8.0% respectively - brings a softer, wind-affected character to the lineup.
The wind turns more easterly and south-easterly as the subtropical high expands, so ideal offshore wind is only 38%. Water temps warm to 23.3°C (73.9°F), while air averages 22.3°C (72.1°F). Rain is relatively low at 2.13mm/day. The waves remain fun and rippable, but you'll need to chase the westerly seabreezes for cleanest conditions.
