Conditions at Majanicho in April
April: Shorter Periods and Trade-Wind Gloom
April is a transition month in the Atlantic, and the numbers show it. Average swell height drops to 1.9m (6.2ft) while the period falls to 10.9s, so the waves at Majanicho lose some of their winter punch. Direction is still excellent - over 80% of the swell comes from the preferred N/WNW/NW/NNW quadrant, with NNW alone at 47% - but the energy is less organised. The wind is the real bottleneck. The NNE trades blow 37% of the time, and with N, NW and NNW onshore flow adding another 37%, the surf is frequently chopped up. Ideal wind conditions drop to just 6%. It is still possible to find fun, rippable waves on the right day, but be prepared for a lot of lumpy, cross-onshore sessions. Water temp is 18.7°C and the air is warming to 18.6°C, so the spring crowds are starting to grow.
