Conditions at Tadado in April
April: South Swells Start to Show
April brings a noticeable improvement in swell direction. The average height eases to 5ft (1.5m) as the W/NW groundswell fades, but the share of SSE/S/SSW/SW swell jumps to 31%. Periods remain around 7.5s - short but punchy - and the south pulses are now regular enough to generate rideable waves at Tadado. Wind conditions are the weak link: offshore N-NE winds occur only 21% of the time, while onshore S/SW winds grow to 16.5%. The result is a mix of clean glassy mornings and afternoon bump. Still, when a warm front sweeps through with S/SSW swell behind it, the south-facing beach lines up nicely for shoulder-to-head-high rides. Water temp warms to 17.5°C, air reaches 16.0°C, and spring rains are on the increase at 6.4 mm/day - definitely worth watching the forecast windows.
