April: Solid Swell on Shifting Spring Winds
April keeps a surprising amount of winter muscle. Average swell is 2.1m (6.9ft) at 11.6s, and the direction breakdown is extremely favorable: W 28.0%, WNW 28.6%, WSW 10.9% and NW 5.6% - a combined 73.1% from the optimal western/northwestern swell window. The challenge is that NNW winds now blow 20.0% and S/SSW winds add another 20.5%, leaving only 20% ideal offshore wind. The surf is often still overhead and powerful, but it can be lumpy and cross-affected unless you catch the early-morning clean windows. Water temp is 10.8°C, air temp 8.2°C, and rain is down to 4.24 mm/day. It is a transition month: plenty of swell, but conditions can change hour to hour.
