Conditions at Kai's Place in April
April: Cleanest Offshore Winds and Head-High Walls
April is Kai's Place's true shoulder-season sweet spot. The average swell decreases to 2.2m (7.2ft), but the period remains a healthy 10.8s. The direction distribution is extremely SW/WSW heavy - SW at 22.4% and WSW at 18.4% are the two dominant swell sources - and the bulk of that energy sits in the 1-2.5m (3-8ft) range. As the storm track weakens, the wind machine stays kind: ideal wind reaches its annual peak of 30%, with ESE, SE and E winds keeping the beach well groomed. Rainfall drops to 4.65 mm/day compared to the winter peak, and water temperature climbs slowly to 6.2°C (43.2°F). You may still need the hood and gloves, but April frequently offers the most user-friendly combination of size, period and clean offshore wind on the calendar.
