Conditions at Brookings in April
April: Spring Shoulder, Cleaner Windows
April is a transition month that still holds serious swell. Average heights run 7.5ft (2.3m) and average periods 11.7s - right in the powerful long-period range. The swell rose shows a surge in WNW and NW energy (24.1% and 11.5%) with W (15.4%) and WSW (7.4%) in between. This means the ocean is full but more northwesterly than winter, so Brookings relies on the west component to wrap into the beach. Wind quality sits at 43% ideal, and while the S/SSE faction remains, the frequencies are lower. NNW (22.1%) and NW (10.7%) are the dominant winds; both have a cross-offshore feel at Brookings, though N-NE remains the pure offshore. Water temp warms to 11.0°C, rainfall dries out to 3.87 mm/day, and air temps climb to 10.0°C. It is a good month for quality sessions between passing fronts, especially before the late-spring upwelling pattern kicks in.
