April: Fun-Sized Swell with a Livelier Sea Breeze
April continues to deliver solid west-southwest groundswell, but quality increasingly depends on wind. The average swell height is 3ft (0.9m) and the average period remains a solid 12.0s. The rose is dominated by WSW (38.7%) and W (38.9%), with SW (18.5%) and SSW (3.4%) filling in the south component. Roughly 24% of waves fall in the 3-5ft (1-1.5m) fun/good range, so there are still rippable, long-period waves between the 2-3ft (0.5-1m) grovelers.
Ideal wind percentages drop to 36%, and onshore SSW/SW/WSW/W winds combine for about 44% of the time, compared to only 22% from the offshore N through E quadrant. This makes the afternoon bump common. With dry weather, 0.69mm/day precipitation, air temps near 15.5°C, and water at 13.4°C, April is a classic morning-session month.
