Conditions at Middles in April
April: Cleaner But Fading
April is the transition month. Average swell drops to 1.6m (5.2ft), the period eases to 9.3s, and the direction mix still favors ENE (42.5%), NE (29.1%), and NNE (13.3%), so there is decent north-northeast character at times. Wind quality improves markedly: ideal wind hits 25%, and the S/SSW/SW offshore sector becomes more common. However, the size decrease means Middles becomes more dependent on tides and bathymetric focus to hold shape. Expect fun and rippable conditions on the better days rather than heavy ones. Air temp averages 26.1°C, water temp is 26.9°C, and precipitation ticks up to 2.56 mm/day.
