Conditions at Cabedelo de Viana in April
April: Shoulder-Season Cleanup
April marks the shift to the fair season. Average swell height eases to 2.1m (6.9ft), average period drops to 10.9s, and the swell profile becomes more NW/NNW with a big WNW component. This is still a rippable month - many days offer 1.5-2m (5-6ft) waves, with enough long-period energy to hold a powerful line. The wind patterns begin to show more of the classic spring/summer north-northwest thermal regime, but N/NE offshore flows remain frequent enough to keep 51 percent of the time in the ideal category. Air temps average 13.2°C, water warms to 14.6°C, and rain remains moderate. The crowds are thinner than summer, the water is warming up, and the quality can be high when a west-angled groundswell lines up with light offshore winds.
