Conditions at Ventnor Pier in April
April: South Swell Builds but Onshore Winds Arrive
April marks the real transition. Average swell height slips to 4ft (1.2m), period holds at 7.3s, and the swell rose becomes dominated by S (16.9%), E (13.2%), SSE (12.5%), SE (10.5%) and ENE (10.7%). There is no shortage of swell in the optimal ESE/SE/SSE/S window; totals approach 50%. The problem is wind. SSW becomes the leading wind direction at 13.3%, with SW at 8.1% and S at 8.9%, so the same south/southeast energy that lights up Ventnor often arrives riddled with onshore texture. Offshore NW flow is still possible, dropping ideal wind to 22%. Water temp climbs to 8.8°C while air averages 10.1°C - spring wetsuit territory, with the first real chance of a warmish sunrise session.
