Conditions at Cozumel in April
April: The Grovel Begins
April is when the summer doldrums start knocking. Average swell height slips to 2.3ft (0.7m) with an average period of 6.0s, and the swell rose becomes increasingly dominated by ESE (36.3%) and SE (31.5%). On paper that is the optimal window for this SE-facing coast; in reality, the trade winds have fully established by now. ESE winds (26.3%), E winds (19.0%) and SE winds (21.2%) combine to make the surf almost permanently bumpy and cross-onshore. Ideal offshore wind from the W-NW quadrant is a pitiful 1%. April still delivers the occasional 3-5ft (1-1.5m) ESE/SE groundswell, often generated by tropical waves riding the trade winds through the Caribbean. Air temps climb to 26.6°C, water is 27.3°C, and precipitation remains low at 0.05in/day (1.38mm/day). Expect small, grovelly, wind-affected waves with a rare clean window just after dawn.
