April: Solid Groundswell, Shifting Winds

April starts the slow slide into smaller surf, but Lagido still receives quality groundswell. The average wave height is 6.9ft (2.1m), the period is 11.2s, and the swell direction is heavily concentrated in the NW (25.1 percent), NNW (19.8 percent) and WNW (19.7 percent) sectors. This is a more moderate, organised west-northwest groundswell, often with clean peaks.

Wind is where April gets tricky. Ideal offshore winds drop to 20 percent, while the NNW wind sector blows 29.4 percent of the time and contributes to increasingly common onshore afternoon sessions. Mornings can still glass off, especially before the sea breeze kicks in. Water temperature warms to 15.3C, air temps average 14.5C, and precipitation sits at 2.08 mm/day. Chasing the early hour or a passing S/SW front is the name of the game.
