April: Peak Season Ignites
April is where Cerro Azul hits its stride. The average wave height climbs to 6ft (1.9m), the average period stretches to a commanding 13.7s, and the swell direction becomes even more focused, with SSW supplying 83.3% of the energy. The real story is the jump in heavy water: 1.5-2m (5-7ft) surf accounts for roughly 55% of the month, while 7-8ft (2-2.5m) waves add another 30%. This is pumping, firing Peruvian winter surf.
Wind conditions are as good as it gets. S and SSW winds combine for over 86% of the wind record, with SW adding another 11%, and the wind is ideal for surfing 97% of the time. Water temperatures cool to 17.8°C and air temperatures average 19.2°C, so it's time to trade the spring suit for a slightly thicker wetsuit. April is the month when the South Pacific really starts to flex.
