Conditions at Apollonas in April
April: Transition Season Begins
April is the start of the fair but inconsistent transition season. Average swell height drops to 0.9m (3ft) and the period slumps to 4.8s. The swell distribution is still led by NNW at 26.3%, but the waves are smaller - most sit in the 0.5-1m range. True N/NE swell drops to 14.6%, while southern components such as SSE (6.9%) and SE (6.8%) begin to appear. The wind story is more positive: offshore S-SW wind totals 28.2% and onshore N-NE winds ease to 15.9%, so when swell arrives it can be cleaner. Ideal conditions remain rare at 7%, but lighter spring winds make the 2-4ft (0.6-1.2m) surf feel more user-friendly. Air temperatures average 15.9°C (min 8.6°C, max 23.8°C), precipitation drops to 0.80mm/day, and the water temperature warms to 16.8°C. The short period means you will want a groveler or fun-board rather than a step-up.
