Conditions at Mitikas in April
April: Shoulder-Season Shuffle
April is where the low season seeds begin to sprout. The average height is only 1.6ft (0.5m), period 4.7s, and ideal offshore wind accounts for 17 percent. Although WNW remains the dominant swell direction at 19.6%, almost all of that energy sits in the weak 0-0.5m and 0.5-1m bins. Wind-wise, onshore W (10.3%) and WNW (11.6%) now compete equally with offshore E (8.9%) and ESE (8.2%). The thermal sea breeze builds quickly under spring sunshine, turning the surface into lumpy chop by mid-morning. Air temperature is 14.9°C, water 16.2°C, precipitation 1.76mm/day. If you score a day with ENE/E flow and a passing low to the west, you can still find clean little waves, but you will have to read the charts carefully.
