Conditions at Flagler Beach in April
April: Easterly Drift and Afternoon Sea Breezes
April sees a noticeable slide in both wind quality and wave height. The average swell height dips to 0.6m (2ft) with an 8.0s period. E swell now accounts for 26.1% of the total, while ESE jumps to 20.4% and ENE comes in at 16.4%; NE drops to 12.1%. The shift toward east-southeast is a direct result of the Atlantic high building northward. Wind conditions reflect that: ESE (9.9%), E (8.9%), SE (8.6%) and WSW (8.0%) are the main directions, and ideal offshore wind only happens 22% of the time. Afternoon seabreezes are harder to dodge, so early sessions are key. Water temp has warmed to 22.7°C (73°F), and with 2.25mm/day of rain it is generally drier. The swell window is still open, but you will be chasing the better shaped E-ENE pulses rather than the clean, organized swells of winter.
