Conditions at Ofir in April
April: Spring Mix
April is a true shoulder month. The ocean still produces a healthy 2.1m (7ft) average swell, with periods sitting at 10.9 seconds - just inside the long-period zone. Swell direction is even more favourable than in winter: NW (22.3%) and WNW (21.9%) dominate, W adds 9.1%, and WSW contributes 3.4%. The wave heights cluster in the 1-2m (3-6ft) range, with plenty of clean, rippable faced waves and the occasional bigger set from the WNW/NW.
Reliability is the issue. Ideal wind time falls to 33%, and the wind rose is increasingly dominated by NNW flow (21.0%) and NW (9.8%) - the classic spring sea breeze. However, offshore ENE/E/ESE/SE winds still occur frequently enough, especially in the morning, to serve up glassy conditions. Air temperatures are warming to an average of 13.2°C, water temperature climbs to 14.6°C, and precipitation holds at 3.16mm/day. If you're flexible, April offers fun, less crowded surf without the heavy winter commitment.
