I agree, when we had heavy rain on El Norte those on the Frances had snow.If the Norte is wet and rainy....the Camino Frances will have basically the same weather. I would suggest staying with the Norte.
The Norte has become busy but is far less jammed than the huge crowds on the CF.
I am planning to walk next year, and would like to start in April. DId you stay in alburgues? Did you have difficulties finding food or other accomodation? I am wondering if April is too earlyHi I walked the Norte from Irun March 1 arrived in Santiago April 5 this year (just home 4 days). Very very rainy almost every day to every second day. Lots of deep mud especially the first 2 weeks, forest paths are soft and washed out in places due heavy prolonged rain since January. I witnessed a landslide before Luarca which blocked the 2 lane road completely (boulders trees, early). Use logic, use hiking poles, I as very grateful to have brought gaiters (water mud) stay safe and listen to locals re safety of coastal routes. Buen camino. BTW no bedbugs at all
No problem finding food, just keep in mind that most stores are closed from about 1 - 4 in the afternoon (but most bars are open). The only time I had trouble finding room in an albergue was around the May 1st national holiday - best not to be around a touristy area (like a beach town) during that time.I am planning to walk next year, and would like to start in April.

Thank you, AndreHi:
I suggest you a very nice accomodation, a very comfortable apartment in Gernika. If you or other friends are going to do Camino del Norte next days/months/years, please suggest them this apartment where I stayed last month, in Gernika.
Very nice place, clean, big, very centric, wonderful:
