Conditions at Pease Bay in April
April: NNE Swell Machine
April is the standout fair season month for wave quality in spring. The average swell height drops to 3-4ft (1.1m) and the average period to 6.0s, but the direction distribution is remarkably favourable. NNE swell is dominant at 16.5%, with NE at 10.8% and ENE at 10.3%, meaning more than 40% of the wave energy approaches from the spot's optimal swell window. Most of that is in the 2-5ft (0.5-1.5m) range, with a decent share of 5-6.5ft (1.5-2m) surf from NNE/ENE/NE.
Offshore wind frequency ticks up to 16%, tied for the highest of the year. Winds can swing from S/SSW with weak lows to NE sea breezes, but the light early-season S/SW flow often leaves the bay glassy and rippable. SST is 7.6°C, air averages 7.0°C, and precipitation is a relatively low 1.80 mm/day. April offers the best combination of small but clean surf before the summer flatness settles in.
