Conditions at Wishing Well in April
April: Transition to Clean Summer Grovel
April is a season of compromise at Wishing Well. Average swell height eases to 4.5ft (1.3m) and average period drops to 9.6 seconds. The swell direction is still locked in the NE quadrant - NE is a strong 37 percent, ENE 26 percent, NNE 21 percent - but the energy is noticeably smaller: 55 percent of waves are in the 1-1.5m (3-5ft) range and nearly a quarter are under 1m. The 1.5-2m (5-6.5ft) class falls to 18 percent, and 2m-plus swell nearly vanishes. On the bright side, ideal wind jumps to 54 percent, with ENE/E trades at 30 and 22 percent, and a growing lighter-wind fraction from ESE/SE. The result is a more frequent clean surface but less power. Water temperature climbs to 27.0°C, air averages 26°C (21-32°C), and precipitation increases to about 2.6mm/day. April is best for a longboard or a grovel board in the 4-5ft (1.2-1.5m) range, especially on dawn patrol before the trades freshen.
