Conditions at The Radisson in April
April: Onshore Trades Take Hold
April marks the transition to low season in earnest. Average wave height drops to 0.8m, period dips to 8.1s, and ideal wind frequency falls to 13%. The wave rose is dominated by E (28%), ENE (20.6%) and ESE (14%) - all of which are good swell directions but also directly onshore. Most of that energy sits in the small 0.5-1m range, with only a small percentage reaching the 1-1.5m bracket, mostly from ENE. The wind data tells the story: ESE (13%), E (11.2%) and SE (11.1%) combine for about 35% of all observations, leaving little room for clean offshore flow. Water temperature climbs to 23.9°C and air temperature averages 22.7°C. A few late-season cold fronts can still flip winds to SW or W and make the beach fun in the morning, but April is largely about groveling on short-period windswell. Manage expectations and pick your dawn patrol windows wisely.
