Conditions at Foz do Lizandro in April

April: Shoulder Season Gold - If the Wind Cooperates

April is where the average surfer trades a few feet for a few degrees. Average height drops to 6.6ft (2.0m) and period to 11.1 seconds-still plenty of punch. NW stands tall at 28.0% of swells, WNW at 21.3%, and NNW at 20.0%, making a near-perfect west-northwest-to-northwest distribution for the spot.

The catch: the nortada is waking up. The NNW wind blows 28.6% of the time, and north winds add another 9.8%. Ideal wind windows plummet to 13%. You'll get some clean mornings, but the afternoon shows up with cross-shore and side-shore texture. Air temp reaches 14.7°C, water 15.7°C-it's the first month you might swap the hood for a hat, and the rain is moderate (1.88mm/day). Look for NW swells with light ENE morning winds.
