Conditions at Punta Roca in April
April: Focused SSW Energy and the First Rain
April sees the swell window become almost surgical: SSW delivers an incredible 85.6% of all swell energy, with S (10%) and SW (4%) making up the rest. Average height is 4ft (1.2m), period is 14.1s - comfortably in the powerful long-period class - and the bulk of the surf is in the 3-5ft (1-1.5m) range, with 10% running at 5-7ft (1.5-2m). The catch is wind. Ideal offshore conditions drop to 49%, the lowest since the start of the year, as the wind rose becomes more variable with W/SW/SSW components increasing. Rain begins to appear (1.06mm/day) and water temperature jumps to 29.7°C, so chase the early morning offshore windows before the seabreeze chops it up.
