April: Consistency and Clean Connections
April is when Ibiraquera starts to show its true colours. The average swell height nudges up to 4ft (1.3m) and the period strengthens to 9.0s - a noticeable step up in quality. The ESE and E sectors are still important (21.4% and 19.4%), but SE (20.2%), SSE (15.9%) and S (9.4%) now combine to give the beach a much deeper south groundswell component. Wave heights in the 3-5ft (1-1.5m) and 5-6ft (1.5-2m) classes are everywhere, and the S direction throws in some proper 6-8ft (2-2.5m) sets. Ideal W/NW offshore winds now arrive 49% of the time, including some clean mornings under light NW flow, while the persistent NNE trades weaken. With cooler air at 20.9°C, water temps down to 23.3°C and rainfall at 3.31 mm/day, April offers the first extended taste of the winter surf season.
