April: Groundswell Creeps Into the Mix
April is where Guarita starts to earn its reputation. The average wave height rises to 1.6m (5-6ft), and average period climbs to 9.1s. The direction spectrum broadens: E and ESE each around 17%, SE and SSE each near 16%, and S jumps to 12.7% while SSW reaches 3.3%. That south-sourced energy begins to show up with more authority, delivering the longer, cleaner lines that this southeast-facing beach needs. Wind conditions also brighten: ideal surfing wind climbs to 46%, with NNW now 9.2%, NW 4.2%, and WNW/W contributing another 6.5%. The trade winds are still there, with NE at 14.7%, but their grip is weakening. Water temperature drops to 22.7°C, air averages 19.6°C, and precipitation falls to 3.44mm/day. Expect a mix of punchy E/ESE trade swell and increasingly regular S/SSW groundswell.
