Conditions at Satellite Beach in April
April: Groveling Waves and Building Sea Breeze
April sees the surf lose a little intensity. Average swell height falls to 2-3ft (0.6-0.9m), period drops to 8.1s, and ideal wind time drops to 13%. Swell direction shifts even more toward E at 28.0% and ENE at 20.6%, with ESE at 14.0% and NE at 13.2% filling in; the favorable directional window is actually strong at 76%, but size is limited. Most of that E/ESE energy is in the 1-3ft (0.3-0.9m) band, producing grovelly, semi-clean surf on the right tides. The wind regime is the problem: E/ESE/SE flow becomes entrenched, with onshore directions close to 40% and afternoon seabreeze chopping things up. Dawn patrol with light SW/W flow is the best play. Water temp reaches 75F (23.9C) and air temps are warming steadily.
