April: Cleaner Windows Arrive as the South Atlantic High Fades
April is a genuine shoulder month. The average period climbs to 8.2 seconds, making the E/ESE swell punchier even at small sizes. Directionally, the mix spreads out: ESE (36%), E (28%), SE (23%), and SSE (10%). Small 2-3ft (0.5-1m) surf still rules, with about 13% in the 3-5ft (1-1.5m) range. The wind improves noticeably, with ideal offshore wind at 29%, and the bad onshore ENE/E/ESE/SE sector drops to 25%. WSW/W/WNW/NW flow totals about 10%, the best offshore quota so far in the year. Air temperature cools to 21.1°C, water temperature is a pleasant 25.2°C, and rainfall drops to 3.55 mm/day. The result is more frequent clean, lined-up waves and usually a fun-sized, rippable beachbreak.
