Conditions at Playa Mar Verde in April
April: Smaller, Jumbled and Occasionally Clean
By April the dry season is breaking down. Average swell drops to 0.7m (2.3ft), period falls to 6.3s, and ideal wind drops to 40 percent. The swell direction is now dominated by SE (35.1%) and ESE (28.8%), with E (21.4%) also contributing. There is almost no pure S or SSW swell, which limits the bigger south-hemisphere groundswell potential. Winds are light but much more variable, with NE and ENE still holding, yet SSE, S and SSW onshore flow takes up a larger share. Expect small, peaky, groveling conditions, especially on the lower tides. Water warms to 27.1°C and rain increases to 0.89 mm/day, hinting at the wet season to come.
