Conditions at Costa Azul in April
April: Offshore Godsend, Direction Letdown
April brings the best offshore wind statistics of the year: ideal wind 88% of the time, with strong WNW and NW breezes dominating. The swell height climbs slightly to 1.0m (3.3ft) and the period peaks at 14.1s, signifying a solid Southern Hemisphere groundswell season. However, the direction remains stubbornly locked in from the S (21.9%) and SSW (75.3%), with virtually zero ENE-SE swell. For Costa Azul, this creates a frustrating paradox: the ocean is active and the conditions are glassy, but the break refuses to stand up properly. Long, high-energy lines wrap into the bay yet crumble unpredictably, making for difficult surfing. The water temperature is 22.1°C, air 22.1°C, with minimal rain. If you see a storm track shift enough to throw an E or ESE component into the mix, April's impeccable winds could deliver a surprise session - but otherwise, it's a month of potential rather than performance.
