April: The Quality Window
April is arguably Low Island's most user-friendly month. The average swell has eased to 7.2ft (2.2m), but a 10.8s period still produces powerful, well-organized lines. The directional distribution is superb: SW contributes 22.3%, WSW 19.2%, and SSW 13.2%, meaning the swell is overwhelmingly from the preferred southwest window. Most heights fall in the 4.9-8.2ft (1.5-2.5m) class - heavy and firing but rarely out of control. The wind also turns in your favor: ideal offshore wind accounts for 37% of the time, the highest all year. With water temperatures rising to 6.1°C (43.0°F), air temperatures at 5.0°C (41.0°F) and precipitation down to 4.65mm/day, April is the month to chase the cleanest overhead surf of the spring.
