Conditions at Stoney Beach in April
April: The Autumn Transition Begins
April is where autumn gets real. Average wave period climbs to 10.2s, height holds at 1.2m, and ideal wind jumps to 29%. The wind distribution starts to flip: NNE/NE still combine for about 26%, but SSW at 11% and SW at 8% are becoming major players. The swell spectrum is well mixed, with ENE at 18%, E at 15%, SSE at 13% and S at 14%. For that reason, the best days are often post-frontal-clean SSW/SW offshore wind, clearing skies, and a 3-5ft (1-1.5m) ENE swell running down the beach. Sea temp drops to 15.0°C, air averages 13.2°C, and rainfall increases to 1.95mm/day.
