Conditions at Ohama in April
April: Shifting East Winds and Mixed Bag Surf
By April, the ideal E/ESE/SE/SSE swell window is the dominant source, totaling around 42% of observations. E and ESE each exceed 12%, and SE adds 9.5%, meaning Ohama finally sees consistent swell from the direction it faces. The catch is size and wind: average height drops to 5ft (1.5m) and periods still only reach 7.5s. Offshore W/WNW flow shrinks to about 17%, while WSW is the single biggest wind direction near 19%, producing plenty of cross-shore texture. Still, 21% ideal wind and a water temperature of 17.5°C make April a decent month for early-morning clean sessions on small East swells. Rain is noticeable at 6.4mm/day and air temps reach 16.0°C, so spring showers are part of the pack.
