Conditions at Little Malibu in April
April: Springtime Mellow
April marks the beginning of the fair season at Little Malibu. The average swell drops to a more modest 4ft (1.3m) and the period steps down to 9.6 seconds, signalling a transition away from the deep winter trade-wind pattern. The swell is now almost entirely from the NE (36.6%) and ENE (25.9%), with a notable NNE (21.2%) influence; west energy continues to be entirely absent. The wind remains excellent for surfing - ideal conditions 69% of the time - with ENE (24.0%) and E (18.2%) dominating the rose. That combination gives you classic glassy spring mornings and small but clean peaks. Water temp has climbed to 27.0°C, and with rainfall at 2.18 mm/day, occasional showers are part of the deal. It's a great month to bring the longboard and work on your nose rides.
