April: Smaller Waves, More Manageable Breezes
April signals the decline of the winter swell machine. The average wave height drops to 3.6ft (1.1m) while the period stays around 9.4s. ENE is the undisputed swell direction at 66%, and most of that energy falls into the 2-3ft (0.5-1m) and 3-5ft (1-1.5m) categories. NE waves still make up 27% of the mix, so the north-east window remains active. The wind regime becomes more balanced, with E and ENE winds still common but lighter, and offshore S/SW sectors appearing 10% of the time. This is a transition into clean, small-wave mode: longboard conditions are frequent, and a groveler with a bit of extra foam will be your best friend. With low rainfall, warm 28.6°C water, and increasing sunshine, April is a pleasant month to enjoy the ocean even when the surf is not firing.
