Conditions at Conil de la Frontera in April
April: Cleaner, Smaller and a Touch Less Consistent
April sees the Atlantic engine begin to weaken. Average swell height drops to 1.2m (4ft) and period shortens to 9.4s, so the waves are more average and punchy than powerful. The swell direction is still WSW-friendly, with WNW at 43.3% and W at 23.4%, but the energy is noticeably less organised. East windswell reaches 10.6%, a sign that the Levante often dominates the local sea state. Ideal wind occurs 21% of the time; offshore E/ENE flow remains common, but so does the afternoon westerly sea breeze. Water temp rises to 16.9°C, air averages 16.1°C. This is a dependable shoulder month: when a late-season storm lights up the Atlantic, Conil gets clean 4-5ft (1.2-1.5m) surf on the better tides.
