April: Swell Shifts South, Exotic Direction
April marks the beginning of the seasonal transition away from North Pacific swell. Average swell height is still 1.0m (3.3ft), and the period is the longest of the year at 14.0s, but the rose rotates south: WSW leads at 47.9%, W is 26.2%, SW jumps to 22.0%, and WNW collapses to just 3.4%. For an NNW facing beach, this is a much less efficient swell angle. The long-period energy is still there, but much of it has to wrap around headlands and through the bay, resulting in smaller, softer surf. Wind remains a problem, with NNW (39.2%), NW (24.7%), WNW (12.1%) and N (10.8%) making up roughly 87% of the wind distribution. Only 1% of the time does it blow from the ideal offshore sector. Air temperature is 24.5 degrees C, water temperature 25.1 degrees C, and rain is nearly absent at 0.06mm/day. Look for smaller 2-4ft (0.6-1.2m) waves rather than the winter grinding walls.
