Conditions at La Santa Isquierda in April
April: More Sun, Shorter Period, and Stiffer Trades
April is the shoulder month. Average swell height slips slightly to 1.5m (5ft) and period drops to 10.6s. Swell direction is still excellent, with the N-NW quadrant delivering 70% of the energy, including NNW at 36.9% and NNE at 23.8%. Yet the average period is now on the edge of average and punchy rather than powerful, and the wind has clearly shifted to the NE regime. NNE winds explode to 37.4%, and when you add N (12.8%) and NNW (18.5%), the surface is often onshore or cross-shore. Ideal offshore flow falls to just 5%. Water temperature is 18.4°C and air reaches 18.4°C with only 0.24 mm/day of rain. The waves are still there, but you have to hunt for clean wind, usually early morning or in the lee of the point.
