Conditions at Sidi Kaouki in April
April: In-Between Blues
April marks a clear transition as average swell heights ease to 2.0m (6.5ft) and periods drop to 10.8s. The Atlantic storm track is retreating, and the swell becomes increasingly dominated by short-to-mid-period NNW windswell, making up 47.1% of all observations. Ideal wind percentages plummet to 27% as the NE trade becomes less consistent and a complex mix of N (11.1%), NNE (32.9%), and NNW (13.7%) winds fills in. Water temps rise to 17.7°C (64°F) and air averages 17.3°C (63°F), with less rain (0.59 mm/day). The surf is still fun, with the 1.5-2.0m (5-6.5ft) range dominating, but the shorter periods mean more energy for chop and less refined shape. Morning offshore light winds are the key to unlocking the best waves before the onshore breeze takes over.
