Conditions at Colotepec in April
April: Groundswell Maximus
April is all about size and power. Average wave height climbs to 1.5m (5ft) and the period stretches to 14.1s-the beginning of the high-quality spring swell window. SSW dominates with 68.5% of the wave spectrum, and a large share of the total energy sits in the 1.5-2m range. The bad news is wind: ideal conditions drop to 41 percent, the lowest of the year, as WNW, W and WSW winds increase. Still, the swell is so strong and long-period that even on a bumpy day, the beach offers heavy, hollow waves. Water temp is 29C and rain is limited to 0.32 mm/day; try to time the tides and early mornings to dodge the worst of the onshore.
