Conditions at Coco Pipe in April
April: Transition Begins as Winter Swell Fades
April is the transition month. The North Atlantic starts to settle down, and Coco Pipe sees average heights back off to 4ft (1.3m) with the period dropping to 8.9s. Good swell directions still dominate - ENE (41%), NE (30%) and NNE (12%) - but the raw power of winter is gone. Most of the energy is in the 3-5ft (1-1.5m) range, with only about 25% in the 5-7ft (1.5-2m) category. The period sits right in the average, punchy, rideable envelope, so expect fun but not overly threatening surf.
Winds shift gradually toward the summer trades. E/ESE still dominate at 51%, with ESE (25%) and E (27%) sharing the load. Ideal offshore wind is up slightly to 18%, and the warmer weather of 25.4°C average air temperature begins to settle in. Water temperature is 26.4°C and rainfall is 1.43 mm/day. It is a good month for smaller-wave boards and cruising sessions.
