Conditions at Bucerias in April
April: Sweet Southwest Rotation
April is when the swell window locks into Bucerias' favorite quadrant. The average height is a modest 3ft (1m), but the period stretches to 14.0s, and nearly 70% of the energy now arrives from the WSW and SW directly. The wave heights are overwhelmingly in the 2-3ft (0.5-1m) and 3-5ft (1-1.5m) range, which on a long-period southwest swell can translate into surprisingly fun, lined-up waves on the better sandbars.
However, the wind reliability fades to 64 percent. Winter cold fronts are done, the gradient relaxes, and the afternoon sea breeze appears more often. Still, it is the driest month of the year with almost no rain, air temperatures averaging 24.4°C and water temperature at 24.8°C. Score the morning offshore/side-offshore flow and you'll be rewarded with some of the most perfectly angled waves of the spring.
