April: Transition and Trade Winds
April is the bridge between winter groundswell and summer's north wind regime. The average swell height drops to 6-7ft (1.9-2.1m), while the average period falls to 10.8s-still rideable and punchy but losing the heavy long-period feel. The direction rose becomes even more NNW-dominated (46.4%), with NW at 19.9%; the favorable W/SW component is nearly absent. Ideal wind drops to 40%, as NNE (28.7%) and NNW (22.3%) take over. Water temp slowly rises to 17.3°C, air to 17.9°C, and rain eases to 0.56mm/day. Expect plenty of waves in the head-high range, but the cleanest, glassiest moments are getting harder to catch.
