April: Spring Swell Sweetness, Fading Winds
April brings the most favorable swell directions of the year so far: SW accounts for 51.9 percent and WSW for 34.2 percent, with SSW adding 3.5 percent. That means nearly 90 percent of the swell points directly at Playa del Borrego. Average height remains 3ft (0.9m) and the period stretches to 14.1s - the longest of the year - giving these southern quadrant swells plenty of push. The catch is wind quality: ideal wind drops to 46 percent. The dominant winds are W (20.8 percent) and WNW (15.7 percent), which are more cross/onshore for the SW-facing beach, and the afternoon sea breeze becomes a regular feature. Rain is almost nonexistent at 0.04mm/day, air temps average 24.4°C, and water temps climb to 25.7°C. Dawn patrol is key: grab the clean glassy windows before the W flow kicks up.
