April: Transition, More Power, Less Wind Reliability
April marks the shift from dry to wet. The swell is arguably the best it has been so far: average period reaches 14.1s, average height 1.2m (4ft), and SSW swell absolutely dominates with 86% of the wave observations. A large chunk -- 68.5% -- arrives in the 1-1.5m (3-5ft) range, and 9.1% pushes into 1.5-2m (5-6.5ft), proper long-period groundswell for Conchalio. The catch is the wind. Ideal wind drops to 47%, one of the lowest values of the year, as onshore S/SSW/SW flow increases to around 26% and W/WNW breezes add cross-shore texture. Rain starts to climb to 1.06mm per day, air temperature rises to 28.3°C, and water temperature reaches 29.7°C. Catch the early mornings before the sea breeze kicks in, or wait for a passing tropical wave to deliver lined-up, powerful sets.
