What April feels like
April is when the rain mostly quits and the coast gets reliable. The water is still cold enough that everyone in the lineup at Tourmaline is in a full suit, and the beach crowds don't really start until Memorial Day.
Real rain shows up about 2 days all month; the rest stay dry. Humidity stays comfortable; the air never feels heavy.
Can you swim?
The ocean runs about 60° — cold — a quick dip takes resolve.
