Conditions at Habitat 67 in April

April: Spring Awakening, Still No Groundswell

April sees a significant warming trend, with an average air temperature of 5.3°C and highs up to 26.0°C. The snowpack melts and river levels rise, but the surf data stays at an absolute zero: 0.0m average wave height, 0.0s average period, and no swell in any direction. Wind directions become more variable; NNE (8.1%), NE (9.1%), and W (9.1%) share the top spots, while the ideal offshore quadrant remains near 25.7%. The bad onshore quadrant, meaning ESE, SE, SSE, and S, totals about 18.6%, enough to add chop when frontal systems roll through, but never enough to create rideable surf. With water still very cold and river currents strong from spring melt, April is more of a scenic river-view month than a surf month.
