Conditions at Aguaadoura in April

April: Shoulder Season In Transition

April trades size for a more relaxed but still rippable month. Average swell height is 6.9ft (2.1m), period drops to 10.9s, and the waverose is increasingly dominated by NW (22.3%) and WNW (21.9%), with W adding 9.1% and NNW 15.7%. The coastline still sees solid NW groundswell, but the energy is less consistent and shorter-period than winter. Ideal wind falls to 32%, and the wind rose shows a strong NNW component at 21.0% along with frequent NW at 9.8%; that means onshore and cross-shore winds are common. Look for high-pressure windows and east-to-southeast offshore flow to produce clean, fun-sized surf. Air temps warm to 13.2°C, water is 14.6°C, and rainfall is 3.2mm/day.
