April: Prime Time
April is where Shipwrecks enters its prime. Average swell height reaches 1.0m (3ft) and the average period peaks at 14.1s, the top of the powerful long-period class. Directional consistency is remarkable: SSW supplies 75% of the swell and S another 22%, so the exposure is working exactly as intended. Wind quality is also the best of the year, with 66% ideal conditions and a W/WNW/NW/NNW offshore flow that keeps the faces clean. Water temperature climbs to 22.1°C and rain is almost nonexistent at 0.06mm/day. This is the month to circle on the calendar - chest-high, clean, rippable surf on a reliable basis.
