Conditions at Ammoudia in April
April: Smaller Swell, Smaller Windows
April is the tail end of the fair season. Average swell height drops to 1.6ft (0.5m), period to 5.2s, and ideal wind falls to 18%. The swell rose still shows a west-southwest bias: WNW (19.6%), WSW (16.3%), SW (13.1%) and W (11.6%) are dominant, but the bulk of the energy is in the 0-1.6ft (0-0.5m) class. Onshore flow increases to about 26% of wind observations, nearly matching the offshore NE/ENE/E/ESE flow (31.6%). This is the classic spring set-up: weak, short-period swell plus a developing seabreeze that tends to make it messy. Air temperature averages 14.9°C, water is 16.2°C, and rain drops to 1.76 mm/day. When a late cut-off low stalls over the Adriatic, there can be a clean 2ft (0.6m) shoulder, but do not plan a surf trip around April at Ammoudia.
