Conditions at Wabasso in April
April: Transitional Trade Winds
April is when the winter engine starts to sputter. Average wave height remains 0.8m (2.5ft), but the period eases to 8.1s and the ideal wind percentage drops to 26%. The swell rose is dominated by E (28.0%) and ENE (20.6%), followed by ESE (14.0%) and NE (13.2%). That's still a lot of wave energy, but it arrives increasingly as short-period windswell pushed in by the strengthening onshore flow. With E (11.5%), ESE (11.2%) and SE (9.8%) winds leading the wind distribution, the surf is often bumpy and disorganized. You'll need to pick your windows - usually early morning before the seabreeze kicks up - to find clean 2-3ft (0.6-1m) waves. Air temp averages 22.7°C, water temp 24.2°C.
