April: Spring Shuffle
April is a transitional month at Tocones. The average remains 2.5-3ft (0.8m) with a 6.0s period, but ESE swell now takes over at 48%, with E at 35% and SE at 11%. The amount of 1.5-3ft (0.5-1m) surf climbs toward 80%, meaning the 3-5ft (1-1.5m) range has mostly faded. Favorable wind ticks up to 34%, so the surface is cleaner on more days. E winds at 31% and ESE winds at 23% still dominate, but the lighter SE/S flow starts to show. Water temperature is 26.7°C, air temperature averages 26.1°C, and precipitation increases to 2.94 mm/day. April is a longboard and small-wave month-not the month to chase big Tocones, but a good month to get wet without battling heavy surf.
