What April feels like
The charter fleet out of Oregon Inlet starts running consistently in April and the yellowfin bite gets serious. The sand warms up long before the water does, so the beach works beautifully and the swimming does not.
Expect about 5 days with real rain — enough to notice, not enough to plan around.
Can you swim?
The ocean runs about 64° — cold — a quick dip takes resolve.
