Conditions at Afife in April
April: Shoulder-Season Mix
April is the classic transition month. Average swell height eases to 6.9ft (2.1m) and the period loosens to 11.0s, still in the powerful long-period bracket. NW and WNW remain the dominant swell directions, but the mix includes more NNW and W swell, with the 1.5-2m (5-6.5ft) range the most common. This makes for fun, rippable surf rather than pure heavy slabs. The wind share drops to 38 per cent ideal, with afternoon NNW and NW sea breezes becoming a regular feature, so dawn patrol is your friend. Water temperature warms slightly to 14.5°C, air averages 12.6°C, and precipitation is moderate. April rewards flexibility: score a clean E/ESE offshore morning and you will find Afife firing with winter-like walls and spring sunshine.
