Conditions at Stuart Public Beach in April
April: Shoulder Season Fades
April is the transition away from winter. Average height drops to 3ft (1.0m), period is 7.8s, and ideal wind frequency remains respectable at 24 percent. The swell direction shifts toward ENE (20%), NE (18%), E (16%) and NNE (10%), but the energy is mostly in the 2-3ft (0.5-1m) and 3-5ft (1-1.5m) bands. The percentage of 5ft-plus (1.5m-plus) waves shrinks drastically, so Stuart turns into a fun, rippable small-wave spot rather than a hollow winter beach. Winds start to clock more out of E, ESE and SE, which together total around 36 percent, signalling the return of summer's onshore pattern. Water temp is 24.0°C, air averages 23.7°C, precipitation 2.67 mm/day.
