Conditions at Lake Worth in April
April: Smaller Swells, More Wind
April sees the swell height drop to 1.0m (3.3ft) as the North Atlantic storm track begins to retreat. Periods are still reasonable at 7.8s, but the distribution shifts to a more easterly character: ENE (20.5%) and E (16.1%) lead the way, with NE (18.3%) still present. The 20% ideal wind percentage means offshore opportunities are becoming scarcer. Instead, the easterly trade wind regime starts to build, bringing more onshore flow from the E and ESE that can make the waves bumpy and disorganized. The water warms to 25.5°C, and air temps reach 23.9°C, signaling the onset of spring. Precipitation is on the rise at 2.63 mm/day, especially during afternoon thunderstorms. For surfers, April is about hunting for the early-morning glass-off or waiting for that rare late-season front to spin up some clean NE swell. The waves are still rideable but less consistent.
