Conditions at Ferrugem in April
April: The Window Begins to Open
April is where Ferrugem turns the corner. Average swell height rises to 4.3ft (1.3m), the period lengthens to 9.0s, and ideal surf wind jumps to 55%. Swell directions are still centered on the favorable E/ESE/SE window: ESE 21.4%, SE 20.2%, E 19.4% and ENE 10.3%, but an increasing SSE (15.9%) and S (9.4%) component brings more south in the mix. This broader spread can make the sandbars more selective, yet the longer period adds real punch.
Wind is much more mixed than in summer. NNE is still common at 14.0%, but NNW (13.4%) and the SW/W/NW offshore quadrant now provide plenty of clean sessions. Water temp cools to 23.4°C, air averages 20.9°C, and precipitation falls to 3.31 mm/day. April is a true transition month - not always firing, but offering consistent 3-5ft (1-1.5m) surf with better shape and more all-day wind windows than the summer months.
