Conditions at La Setenta in April
April: Trade Wind Glass and Smaller Ground
April is a fading shoulder month at La Setenta. Average wave height drops to 1.6ft (0.5m) and the period shortens to 5.4s, putting the surf firmly into small, windswell-dominated territory. The good news is that the NNW direction remains present at 16% of the swell distribution, and the full N/WNW/NW/NNW window totals around 28%, so there are still moments when a distant front can inject a fun 2-4ft (0.6-1.2m) wave. The bad news is that ENE swell is now dominant at 33%, and E/ENE/NE winds dominate the surface flow, leaving the beach bumpy and washed out on most days. Offshore wind percentages hold at 18%, but they increasingly arrive in the morning before the easterly trades build. Water temperature warms to 26.5°C, air temperatures average 26.4°C, and rain is moderate at 1.30 mm/day.
