Conditions at Falasarna in April
April: Smaller Swells and Cleaner Breezes
April sees Falasarna ease into shoulder season. The average swell size drops to 0.9m (3ft) and average period falls to 5.6s, meaning the beach is often dominated by shorter-period windswell. The good news is the swell window becomes even more westerly: W and WNW swells combine for roughly 40 percent of all wave energy, although the bulk sits in the small 0.5-1m range. It is a month of grovel on a foam board, but still fun on the right day when an easterly offshore breeze lines up the peaks. Ideal winds are at 13 percent, and ENE/NE winds remain the primary breeze, so the surface can be decent. Water temp climbs to 16.8°C, air temps average 15.1°C, and rain drops to 0.92mm/day - spring has firmly arrived, but the winter swell machine is winding down.
