April: The Winter Engine Revs
April is the real transition month at Anne Avenue. Average swell size climbs to 9ft (2.7m) and period stretches to 11.8s, while ideal wind improves to 28%. The wind table now shows a clear preference for W/WSW flow - W alone blows 21.1% of the time, making offshore conditions far more common than in the summer months. Onshore easterly wind drops to 34.5%. The caveat is that the direct E/ESE/SE swell window narrows to 8.8%; the dominant S/SSW/SW groundswell starts to take charge. Even so, the increased period allows more refraction into the ESE-facing beach, and the cleaner surface makes April a fine month for picking off solid, glassy sets. Water temperature falls to 17.9°C, so it is time to dig out the thicker rubber.
