Conditions at La Ocho in April
April: Spring Lull Blows in from the East
April is a tale of cleaner breeze but less swell. The average wave height holds at 2-3ft (0.8m) with a 6.0s period, and ideal wind jumps to 47%-the trade winds become lighter and more variable. Yet that small improvement in wind doesn't help direction: ESE swell is at 48.1%, E at 34.5%, and SE at 11.1%, meaning almost everything at La Ocho is cross-onshore or outside the optimal wind window. With water temperature at 26.7°C and air temperature at 26.1°C, the water is warm and increasingly inviting, but the ocean is still fat. Ride the longboard and look for the occasional ESE pulse to clean up under a southerly breeze.
