Conditions at Langeoog in April
April: Smaller, Cleaner Shoulder Surf
April is when the North Atlantic low pressure train begins to weaken and the surf backbone of the winter softens. Average swell height sits at 3ft (1.0m) with average periods down to 6.1s. The dominant swell direction is noticeably more northerly: NNW is responsible for 21.7% of all waves, NW for another 14.3%, while W and WNW contribute a further 17.8%. Most of these waves are in the 2-5ft (0.5-1.5m) range, with occasional 6ft+ (2m+) sets from NW/NNW. Winds are lighter and more mixed than in winter. NNW winds are most common at 10.7%, which is onshore, but ENE, E and WNW are all in the 7-8% range, and the offshore ESE-S sector still shows up enough to make 12% of the month ideal. When a spring high settles over Scandinavia, the lighter winds and smaller swell can produce surprisingly clean, fun-sized waves. Water temp climbs to 7.8°C, air averages 7.4°C, and rainfall drops to 1.3mm/day, making cold, sunny spring sessions a real possibility.
