Conditions at Cabo Ledo in April
April: Swell Starts to Wake Up
April is a genuine turning point. The average swell now reaches 4ft (1.2m), the period stretches to 12.6 seconds, and the South Atlantic storm track begins to feed more organized SSW/SW groundswell toward Angola. While the direction is still not ideal for this northwest-facing beach, the surge in 3-5ft (1-1.5m) energy - around 65 percent of all waves - makes Cabo Ledo far more playful.
A touch of 5-8ft (1.5-2.5m) swell also starts showing up in the stats, so the outer banks can offer some real push. Best of all, April posts the year's highest clean-wind percentage at 77 percent, with light S/SSW offshore breezes dominating. Water temperature remains warm at 26.9°C despite the tail end of the rainy season, making for excellent late-season conditions.
