Conditions at Berria in April
April: Shoulder-Season Swells
April sees the first real slowdown. Average wave height drops to 4.6ft (1.4m) and period to 10.9s - still enough for fun, punchy surf when swell direction aligns. NW continues to dominate at 43.8%, with NNW at 20.3% and WNW at 18.4%; most of the NW energy falls in the 3-5ft (1-1.5m) range, with about 10% of waves sneaking into the 5-6ft (1.5-2m) class. The wildcard is wind: ideal conditions fall to 35%, and the rose becomes a mess of ENE/E (8.4%/8.3%), W (11.4%) and WNW (13.7%), with only a few S/SSW offshore pulses. The quality is there if you can find a clean wind window, but consistency is lower. Water temp starts climbing to 14.0°C, air temps average 12.1°C, and rainfall is 2.70 mm/day - a transition month that rewards patience.
