Conditions at Uliss in April
April: The Pick of the Season - Small but Surfable
April statistically offers the best surfing at Uliss. Ideal conditions peak at 10%, the highest mark of the year. The wave direction data is heavily weighted toward the south: S 32.1%, SSW 30.5%, SSE 11.3% and SE 7.5%, for more than 80% of observations in the favorable swell window. Average wave height remains only around 2ft (0.6m), but the average period improves to 5.6s, nudging into the lower end of the average, punchy, rideable category. Wind is the limiting factor: SE 9.7%, SSE 16.5%, S 12.8% and SSW 10.7% combine for just under 50% onshore flow, so conditions are often soft or bumpy. When a N/NNW high-pressure ridge sets up after a front, light offshore winds can groom the small southern peaks into fun, rippable waves. Water temp is 4.4°C and air averages 4.9°C, with precipitation at 1.29 mm/day. Bring the fish or the longboard; this is as good as it gets.
