Kitty Hawk Pier Golf Statistieken, April: Golven met Licht of Offshore Winden

This image shows only the swells directed at Kitty Hawk Pier that coincided with light winds or offshore conditions through a typical April and is based upon 2640 predictions, one every 3 hours. The direction of the spokes show where quality surf generating swell comes from. Five colours illustrate increasing wave sizes. Blue shows the smallest swells, less that 0.5m (1.5 feet) high. Green and yellow illustrate increasing swell sizes and red represents the largest swells, greater than >3m (>10ft). In either graph, the area of any colour is proportional to how frequently that size swell occurs.

The diagram suggests that the dominant swell direction, shown by the biggest spokes, was SE, whereas the the most common wind blows from the WSW. The chart at the bottom shows the same thing but without direction information. For example, swells larger than 1.5 feet (0.5m) coincided with good wind conditions 19% of the time, equivalent to 6 days. Open sea swells exceeding >3m (>10ft) are unlikely to happen in a normal April. Taking into account the fraction of these swells that coincided with predicted offshore winds, and given the fact that Kitty Hawk Pier is exposed to open water swells, we calculate that clean surf can be found at Kitty Hawk Pier about 19% of the time and that surf is blown out by onshore wind 31% of the time. This is means that we expect 15 days with waves in a typical April, of which 6 days should be clean enough to surf.
